The Business Show Asia 2026

Growth is often treated as proof that a startup is working. In reality, it is also the stage where weaknesses become harder to ignore. What once felt focused and easy to manage can start to lose progress as the business grows, and many founders do not fully see why until execution begins to suffer. In this seminar, Froilan Mendoza, Founder and CTO of Fulcrum Solutions, will explore why that shift happens and what founders can do before it becomes a larger problem. Drawing from years of building startups and guiding companies, he will speak about the patterns that tend to slow teams down as they grow, and why speed becomes harder to protect once complexity starts to settle into the business. This is a session for founders and growth-stage teams who want a clearer view of what scaling really demands behind the scenes. Attendees will leave with a stronger understanding of why startups lose momentum, what usually sits underneath that slowdown, and how to think about growth without compromising execution.
