Coconuts turns 10... and it's finally profitable

11 Jan

Coconuts just turned 10. The online publisher, which puts out city guides across Bangkok, Manila, Singapore, Hong Kong, Kuala Lumpur, Jakarta, Bali, and Yangon, has been pushing forward into new formats such as broadcast and streaming platforms.

We spoke with Byron Perry, the founder and CEO of Coconuts about the decade of lessons he's had in building one of Asia's most recognisable media startups. They're finally making a profit this year.

We picked his brains about fundraising, branding, expansion strategies, and growing talent.

And congrats on becoming a dad, Byron :)
