At Iterative, we have a bold vision: to increase the GDP of Southeast Asia through entrepreneurship. We think we can achieve this by making entrepreneurship more accessible, but in order to increase accessibility, we need to do two things. First, empower people to believe they can start companies. Second, teach people how to successfully start companies. We work hard to produce relevant and practical content that helps people learn about and be successful at building startups. You’ll (hopefully) see the result of this in our events, articles, posts, etc.
Creating useful and relevant resources is only part of it, though. This content also needs to be easy to find, accessible and structured. We want founders and anyone interested in learning from us to be able to go to a single place to find answers and guidance to all their startup questions. Questions like: When is the right time to quit my job and take the leap? How do I deal with investor rejection? Should I continue working on my startup? How can I find my first customers and how do I turn them into loyal users?
Introducing Startup Academy, a free collection of courses, guides and templates on how to build startups in Southeast Asia.

- Community – Community is a huge part of what we do and how we try to help. We’re not sure what this looks like yet in Startup Academy but excited to start exploring and iterating together.
