About

What is Startup Agile Group?

A regional network helping founders and teams combine startup thinking with new ways of working in the age of AI.

Startup Agile Group is a multi-country initiative spanning Singapore, Malaysia, India, Indonesia, Hong Kong, the Philippines, Thailand, Sri Lanka and Vietnam. We bring together startup founders, product builders, innovators and investors who want to apply agile principles, AI capabilities, human skills and outcome-driven tools like OKRs in a practical, lightweight way.

Through in-person meetups, online sessions and founder circles, we explore how to design experiments, measure what matters, collaborate across teams, and build products that solve real problems.

The community is free to join, volunteer-driven and designed for honest conversations and continuous improvement.
