🚀 Beyond Runway

If you're a founder… Stop making $1M decisions alone.

Beyond Runway is a private community of vetted, ambitious founders in Southeast Asia. Built around one idea: the right founder, at the right time.

Every month: a handpicked warm intro in your inbox. And a seat at a curated dinner — 6 founders, 1 table, 1 topic.

Deeper conversations. Different perspectives that challenge you. Founders who get it.

So you make better decisions. Not alone.

Why I Started Beyond Runway

Admond here — I’ll be real with you.

I quit my job in 2021 to build my first startup. It flopped. Hard.

What kept me going wasn’t a book, a podcast, or a course. It was conversations with other founders who:

• Had burned millions — and knew how to bounce back

• Shared what they’d do differently if they had to start over

• Opened doors that would’ve taken me years to unlock alone

My second startup got acquired. That exit changed my life — but what changed my trajectory was having access to the right founders at the right time.

🌏 When I looked around Southeast Asia, I saw:

• Plenty of early-stage communities

• Plenty of generic “networking” events

• Almost no curated space for serious founders doing meaningful revenue who want depth

So I built Beyond Runway.

A private, vetted room for high-growth founders in Southeast Asia who want:

• Candid conversations about the hard stuff

• Real operator playbooks (not theory)

• A trusted circle they can lean on for the next decade

Circle

Every month, the right founder lands in your inbox.

You tell me your focus — what you're navigating, what you need help with, what you can offer. I handpick a founder match for you. The one whose experience answers what you're carrying that month.

You can opt in. Or skip. Both are fine. If there's no strong match this month, I won't force one. No match is better than a bad match.

🇸🇬 Every month, a curated dinner table forms in Singapore.

6 founders. 1 table. 1 topic. Off-the-record. In person.

You RSVP. I curate the table — based on the topic, what you're navigating, and what makes the room chemistry work. The goal isn't every dinner. It's the right dinner.

Members tell me this is where they drop the founder mask — where they talk about the hard stuff. The real numbers. The decisions that keep them up at night. The things you can't post online.

We call it Circle. It's the heart of Beyond Runway.

Your match. Your table. Your edge.

Decisions made alone are expensive

The wrong hire. The wasted launch. The bad timing on a round.

You can't see the mistake until it's done.

Inside Beyond Runway, members aren't alone. Here's what conversations look like:

Real questions. Real answers. From founders who've actually done it.

And here's what members say about the room:

The room is a tight mix of founders typically running $100K–$20M businesses across AI, B2B SaaS, fintech, e-commerce, agencies, and tech-enabled services. Primarily Southeast Asia.

What makes the room work isn't the revenue. It's the mindset. Every member is vetted for how they think, how they share, and how they show up. Low ego. High trust. Real conversations.

How to get in

Beyond Runway is not for everyone. By design.

We exist to serve founders who are already operating at a high level — and who make the room sharper by being in it.

The bar:

• $100K+ annual revenue (last 12 months)

• You operate with integrity — we vet hard for character

• You're curious. Beginner's mind despite your success.

• You share openly — wins, losses, numbers, mistakes. This is a low-ego room.

• You give as much as you take. We're here to help, not extract.

• You think and move like an operator — practical, grounded, allergic to fluff.

Here is exactly how to get in:

What it costs

Beyond Runway membership is $1,188/year, billed annually.

One right connection. One better decision. One conversation that changes how you think about your business. That alone can return 10x the membership fee.

Most members expense it through their business.

Here's my guarantee: experience Circle by joining your first 3 warm intros and your first 3 curated dinners, and engaging in the private founder community on WhatsApp. If after that you genuinely don't feel it's worth it, email me and I'll refund you. No forms. No hoops. No hard feelings.

Worst case: you spend 3 months with the best founders in SEA and get your money back.

Best case: Beyond Runway becomes the room you rely on when decisions matter most.

P.S. We cap membership at 50 founders to protect the quality and trust of the room.

FAQ

What if the match isn't relevant to me?

Every match is based on what you specifically need this month — your focus, what you need help with, and what you can offer. You're not matched on a static profile. Every match is handpicked. And if there's no strong match this month, I don't force it — no match is better than a bad match. You skip and come back next month.

Do I have to participate in Circle every month?

No. Circle is opt-in every single month. You'll receive a short opt-in email — 6 questions, 2 minutes. Say yes or skip. Both are fine. No penalty, no nag, no follow-up. Life happens. Come back when you're ready.

What if I'm not based in Singapore?

The warm intro works anywhere — online or offline, your choice. Curated dinners are currently in Singapore, with plans to expand. Many of our members travel to Singapore regularly and join when they're in town.

How do the curated dinners work? Is a seat guaranteed every month?

Not guaranteed. Every month, members RSVP for the upcoming dinner. I then curate the table — 6 founders chosen based on the topic, what each member is navigating, and what makes the room chemistry work. If you're not selected for a given month's table, you'll be considered for the next. The goal isn't every dinner. It's the right dinner.

How much does Beyond Runway cost?

Beyond Runway membership is $1,188/year, billed annually. Most members expense it through their business. Comes with a 3-month guarantee — if you genuinely don't feel it's worth it after experiencing Circle, email me and I'll refund you.

How is Beyond Runway different from other founder communities?

Communities like EO and YPO are great. They've built real networks at scale.

But Beyond Runway is built for a different audience: founders operating in Southeast Asia. Fewer members, more trust.

Built around Circle — monthly handpicked 1:1 intros and curated dinners. Personal curation. Real conversations. The right founder, at the right time.

If that's the room you want, Beyond Runway's your place.

Can I promote my business or sell to Beyond Runway members?

Short answer: No.

Members join to learn, share, and build real relationships — not to be sold to.

If a member genuinely asks for your help or wants to work with you, that’s perfectly fine. But unsolicited selling and promotions are strictly not allowed.

This keeps the room high-trust, high-signal, and actually useful.

You can spend another quarter in noisy rooms…

Or you can join a room built to help you move faster, make better decisions, and avoid expensive mistakes.
