Are you looking to grow your business to a six, seven or even figures without killing yourself?  If the answer is yes, you’re going to love today’s interview with Alvin Poh, a tech entrepreneur based in Singapore.
 
At the age of 33 years old, he sold his Internet business Voiden for $30 million. This was the business that he scaled up from $0 all the way to Singapore's #1 hosting provider with 35,000 clients and a team of 150 before the 8-figure exit. Alvin then spent the next few years traveling the world, exploring new hobbies like snowboarding, kite surfing and many more.

In 2020, he returned to Singapore and developed the 5E Scale Engine, which was the framework he used to scale up his business. Using that, he coaches entrepreneurs, just like himself, on how to Super Scale their businesses so that they can achieve breakthrough profits and find time freedom.
