Cohort
For Established Family Business Owners · AI-Led · Singapore

Take your family business global.
Use AI and cut costs

A 6-month degree with exactly two outcomes: enter one new international market, and remove real cost from the business with AI. Three weeks online each month, one week in the market itself — where the expansion actually happens.

Expanding To International Markets

Built for next-gen owners who want to expand abroad into new markets

Five countries, one cohort, the whole way through. You're not reading case studies about market entry — you're doing it yourself, in Singapore, Dubai, London, Bangalore, and China, alongside legacy business families at every step.

The Only Two Outcomes That Matter

In this program,
you get 2 solid outcomes

No general management theory, no ten-item wishlist. Every module, every mentor session, every week abroad exists to move you toward one of these two outcomes — and you don't graduate until both are real.

Outcome I
Take the business into one new international market.
Leave with a signed LOI, distributor agreement, or partnership conversation actively underway in a market you chose — not a 40-page strategy deck that sits in a drawer. The offline week each month happens in the market itself.
Market selection & entry-mode decision (partner, JV, subsidiary, distributor)
Regulatory, trade, and tax landscape for your chosen market
Introductions to real distributors, partners, or buyers on the ground
A 12-month go-to-market plan your team can execute after graduation
Outcome II
Cut real cost from the business using AI.
Leave with two or three processes actually automated — not a slide about "AI transformation." A quantified, implemented reduction in operating cost, built for your specific business, not a generic tool demo.
A function-by-function audit of where AI removes real cost or time
2–3 processes automated and live before graduation (ops, finance, or customer-facing)
A quantified savings figure your board or family can see
Your existing team trained to run and extend the systems after you leave
How It Works

From application
to real business impact.

Six stages, in order. Each one exists to move you toward one or both outcomes — nothing here is a filler week.

How The Six Months Work

Three weeks at your desk.
One week in the market.

Every month follows the exact same rhythm — three weeks of live cohort work from home, then one week physically in that month's target market. It repeats six times, in a different city each time.

The Pattern, Every Single Month
Week 1Online
Week 2Online
Week 3Online
Week 4In-Market
Weeks 1–3 — live cohort sessions, mentor work, and AI implementation from home
Week 4 — the whole cohort travels to that month's target market

Positioned Against

Compared to a traditional
family business programme.

Cambridge, IMD, and Harvard run excellent family business courses. They're also built around theory delivered on a fixed campus. This is built around two outcomes, delivered in the markets where those outcomes happen.

Curriculum

Our learning thesis to help you
achieve the two promised outcomes.

Six modules, each ladders directly into either the market-entry outcome or the AI cost-reduction outcome. Nothing here is generic MBA filler.

Module 01
Business & Market Diagnosis
Both Outcomes
▾
A structured audit of your business as it stands today — where margin leaks, where the org chart hides risk, and which international market actually fits your product, not just the market that sounds impressive.
Module 02
Market Entry Strategy
Market Entry
▾
Entry-mode decisions (distributor, JV, subsidiary), regulatory and trade landscape, and how to structure a first deal so it survives contact with a new legal system and culture.
Module 03
AI Cost & Process Audit
AI Cost
▾
A function-by-function walkthrough of your operations to find where AI genuinely removes cost or headcount need — not a tour of tools you'll never touch again.
Module 04
Implementation & Build
AI Cost
▾
Hands-on build week — your first automated processes go live with a mentor beside you, and your existing team is trained to maintain and extend them.
Module 05
Deal & Partnership Close
Market Entry
▾
Negotiation, term sheets, and closing mechanics for the specific partner or distributor relationship you're forming in your target market.
Module 06
Board Presentation & Handover
Both Outcomes
▾
You present both outcomes — market entry status and quantified AI savings — to your own family or board, the way you'd present any real initiative.
Who Works With You

Learn from mentors
who are the best, across the world.

You're paired with practitioners against each outcome — people who've actually entered a market or actually shipped an automation, not career academics.

Mentors span both outcomes — market entry (VCs, operators, cross-border investors) and AI/governance (enterprise AI leads, family business promoters who've made the transition themselves).
Beyond The Mentors — Your Delivery Team

Get a dedicated
1:1 consultant all six months.

Mentors above are the wider faculty you learn from. Underneath that, each family is assigned a small consulting team that does the actual hands-on work with your business, every week, for the full six months.

Embedded, not visiting
Same team, all 6 months
Your consultants stay with your cohort the whole way — no re-explaining your business twice.
Operators, not academics
They've done it themselves
Closed a distributor deal, shipped an automation, sat on a family business board — not theory.
Accountable to the outcome
Done when it's live
Their job finishes when the LOI is signed or the automation is running — not at "advice given."

Life Inside The Cohort

Six months.
Six countries.

This isn't a program you watch from a screen. Every month puts the cohort somewhere real — a diagnosis room, a distributor's office, a build sprint, a boardroom.

The AI Cost Roadmap

Four phases.
One compounding outcome.

This isn't a one-off automation project dropped on your team. It's a sequence — each phase builds the case, the system, and the proof for the next, so the savings compound after the cohort ends rather than fading with it.

01
Diagnose
Map every operational cost line against what AI can realistically automate in your specific business — no generic playbook, no vendor demo.
→
02
Automate
Your first two automations go live during AI Build Week in Bangalore, built alongside engineers, on your team's actual workflows.
→
03
Measure
Track hours saved and cost reduced against your own baseline — the same numbers you'll present to your family or board at graduation.
→
04
Scale
Extend what worked to adjacent functions, with a system and a playbook your team can maintain long after the cohort ends.
Twenty seats.
One family application.

Cohorts are capped deliberately — apply to see if the next intake fits your business.
