Strategic SME Consultants
Singapore
We are entrepreneurs first and consultants second who have navigated the chaos of scaling up.

Inspiring a Better World:
The Founder's Note: Accelerating 100 Entrepreneurs to Impact 100 Million Lives in Asia.
"I left the derivatives industry to start an education brand in China because I believed it was the most direct way to give back to society. Later, I took on the challenge of scaling Adam Khoo Learning Centre into Indonesia, and subsequently Vietnam and Cambodia.
We didn't need cash. We needed a market entry roadmap.
Money without strategy just accelerates chaos. That is why when business owners come to me asking for 'the max EDGE grant,' I often tell them to pause. If you cannot explain your 3-year plan on a napkin, the grant won't save you—it will drown you.
At FT Synergist, we are entrepreneurs first and consultants second. We build the strategic roadmap I wish I had 20 years ago."
