Ryan Thoo

What sets me apart is my extensive hands-on experience with VC-backed startups in Southeast Asia. As the CMO-in-residence at Antler, a global early-stage venture capital firm, and having been part of a startup myself, I intimately understand the unique challenges and opportunities that early-stage companies face. This first-hand knowledge allows me to provide tailored guidance and mentorship to founders, helping them navigate the complexities of growth and marketing as they find product-market fit and eventually scale up. With over a decade of well-rounded experience in marketing and driving business growth, my expertise spans user acquisition and retention, digital marketing, product marketing, content marketing, and brand communications. My goal is to empower entrepreneurs with the tools, insights, and confidence they need to overcome obstacles and unlock their full potential. Whether it's refining a go-to-market strategy, optimizing marketing spend, or building a strong brand identity, I serve as a trusted advisor, providing actionable recommendations tailored to each startup's unique needs and stage of growth.
