As a VC Venture Partner that looks at 50 decks a year I agree to create the initial deck yourself but paying $1-2k for a professional UI/UX designer to make it better makes a world of difference. Takes a deck from looking like it was made by high school students to one that is worth way more than they’re asking.

Try a few things:

• selling “4-hand” massage
• def try to either find cerebral palsy clients or pro-cerebral palsy clients.
• try Facebook / Instagram ads

1. They just do what you tell them. They are not actively giving your advice. Doing the bare minimum for compliance as they have thousands of companies.
2. Ideally you fly in to SG and open up a corp account using your ID.
3. Spire and other solutions are ok.
4. No, Osome, Sleek, and others are real companies. This isn’t some 1,200 person island in the Carribean.

Biggest factor for you is having a Director. This is an actual Singaporean on the ground here in Singapore. Literally anyone with a pulse can do it but they are also on the hook if you do something illegal. Sleek will set one up for you for about $800/6 months or something.

Second biggest factor is SG bank account. If you are constantly keeping it close to zero you will most likely get it shut down.

I use Sleek for 3+ years and am neutral with them. Don’t hate them, don’t love them.

Having some power but no responsibility or realistic upside is a terrible way to live. You are living on ego because you have access to some founder-level discussions. I think I agree with the top responses to slowly find a better job.

What does your agreement say? Did you vest it all? If not you might lose it after 90 days.
