This mentoring is based on the peer group format, where trustworthy and respectable CEOs gather to dissect, analyse and prescribe approaches to overcome challenges and meet business goals. I hold participants accountable to their promises of action after each peer group meeting. A simple phone call is often sufficient to keep founders on their toes. 1-to-1 arrangements are also made to help each participant gain more clarity of their situation, so they may work towards implementing the right solutions with a clear and resolute frame of mind.This peer group system has been proven to increase their survivability and adaptability rate, in turn reaching greater chances of success than if they were to figure things out alone. In my first year, my members raised RM3 million of funding, generated past RM1 million of additional revenue, and gained new partners and customers in US, EU and ASEAN countries.Cambrian Leap borrows its name from the Cambrian Explosion by Nature.
