Open For Business

Buying or renting property can be a tedious process, from finding something within your budget and physically locating the property, to finding the right agent or platform to work with and wading through the paperwork.

It’s no wonder why websites like iProperty and PropertyGuru have become so popular, but is the future of proptech to move away from broad searchability and build out a property superapp for all your property needs?

To find out,we speak with Teow Wei Kwang, Co-Founder of Nextsix. Nextsix is a one-stop property platform that is pioneering a GPS and data-driven search engine that links property seekers to properties available within a particular vicinity through real estate agents, but by the looks of it, has bigger aspirations as well.

In the last few years we’ve seen Bitcoin go to the moon, and then come back down to Earth. That said, it is still up over 340% over the last 5 years and has climbed around 60-70% year to date, so it’s not all doom and gloom.

When you think about the Malaysian crypto market, or at least the regulated side of it, it’s hard to miss one key name - Luno - a regulated digital asset exchange that allows users to trade digital assets, like bitcoin. July marked Luno’s 10th year in business.

In 2023 the number is now over 12 million. In the midst of all that, Luno was acquired by Digital Currency Group in 2020, while a key moment for the company, DCG hasn’t had the smoothest of paths since.

Today we explore Luno’s 10 year journey and what lies ahead with James Lanigan, CEO of Luno.

Between hybrid work arrangements, talent acquisition and employee turnover, managing talent in business is getting increasingly more challenging and complicated. In a bid to expand access to talent and simplify human resources operations, MIT alumni Alex Bouaziz and Shuo Wang started Deel back in 2018.

Deel may have started with a focus on payroll, but today it’s a full-stack HR solution that simplifies aspects of managing an international workforce, from culture and onboarding, to local payroll and compliance. This has become even more important post-pandemic as workforces become more distributed across the world.

Today on Open for Business, we speak with Alex Bouaziz, Co-founder & CEO of Deel, about the role they play in HR and talent management, how they support companies to expand internationally via employer of record services, and how all this supports Deel's own growth.

We also speak to Alex about Deel’s appetite for acquisitions to grow and the milestones that will help determine when they will IPO.
