What we are

A network for teams that build in the open.

We bring startup thinking together with practical, modern ways of working.

Startup Agile Group spans Singapore, Malaysia, India, Indonesia, Hong Kong, Philippines, Thailand, Sri Lanka and Vietnam. We bring together founders, product builders, innovators and investors who want to use agile, AI, human skills and goal-setting tools like OKRs in a simple, practical way.

Through in-person meetups, online sessions and founder circles, we explore how to run experiments, measure what matters, work well across teams and build products that solve real problems. The community is free, volunteer-driven and built for honest conversations and continuous improvement.
