🎙 SEA of Startups Decoding the pulse of founders, capital, and conviction in Southeast Asia. This isn’t another “startup success” show — it’s the real conversation behind what actually works (and what doesn’t) when you’re building, funding, or navigating the region’s wild, ambitious ecosystem. From Singapore’s capital corridors to Jakarta’s chaos, Manila’s energy to Ho Chi Minh’s grit — we unpack how ambition, culture, and capital collide. Expect deep dives into founder psychology, venture strategy, and the unspoken truths shaping Southeast Asia’s next decade. Hosted by Kim Yeoh and Kevin Brockland, it’s where strategy meets psychology — a mirror to the builders and believers shaping Southeast Asia. Part strategy, part soul — unfiltered, intelligent, and entirely real. seaofstartups.substack.com
