Recently caught up with my good friend Fred Yip, founder of Goldjoy Group. 🏆 Goldjoy has been one of our first and long-time clients in Hong Kong, and it’s always great catching up with Fred. We discussed the challenges of building a startup from the ground up - not something for the faint of heart! It was great to hear that with Aspire handling the finance side, Fred can properly focus on growing Goldjoy and driving innovation without the hassle of managing business finances. Who else in the Hong Kong startup scene is doing interesting things? Let me know! 👇

ZenAdmin moves a ridiculous amount of money across borders because, apparently with our cross border procurement, international customers like us. (Thanks, guys! 💝) Managing that flow isn’t just important—it’s critical and a nightmare that became smooth thanks to Aspire. These folks know what’s up: fast transactions, secure spending controls, and no paperwork tantrums. Plus, their customer support is so good it makes me question why my old customer service teams weren’t like this. (I’m looking at you, Rachel Ridgwell—you’re killing it, just like you did back at Hmlet.com. 😅 💪) Bottom line: if you’re growing across borders, Aspire is basically your cheat code. It’s like hiring the world’s most efficient finance team, but cooler and less likely to show up late. Now we can't do without it that we are rolling out all the rest of their product in our company! Give it a try guys!! These guys came a long way and killing it!
