SEA Deal Ticker
Selling to Asia now means hiring in Asia: Klaviyo staffs a Singapore HQ toward 175
The marketing-automation firm opened with 25 staff and plans more than 175 by year-end, backed by the Economic Development Board. Revenue outside the Americas grew 35% year on year last quarter.
Positive-sum angle: Every SEA startup recruiting regional go-to-market talent now bids against a payroll funded by a $1.5 billion run rate, and inherits the operators that payroll trains.
