[Workshop] How to protect your business from inflation

Why you should attend

A prolonged pandemic has led to higher inflation rates around the world. This can be seen in the disruption of supply chain prices and the overall increase in consumer price index (CPI) around the world. The US’ core CPI increased by 4.5% in June 2021, the highest it has ever been in decades, and it shows no signs of letting up.

But how can C-level executives in bootstrapped startups and high-growth companies hedge over this reality so that their firms remain profitable and attractive to investors?

Join us on February 24 as Billy Naveed, the chief strategy officer at Smile Group, explains this global trend and how business leaders can weather the challenges it brings.

Some other key takeaways you’ll get from this session with Billy include:

• What’s behind the rising inflation globally and what it means for startups in Southeast Asia
• How inflation and price pressures impact Southeast Asian markets
• How startups should think about runway, burn, valuation, and fundraising in light of the macroeconomic landscape
