If you could ask a $100M entrepreneur one question about business, what would it be? (alien.top)

I recently started a passion project with my friend to document the journey of successful Singapore entrepreneurs and get them to share their stories with us.

Having failed 2 businesses before, I thought it would be fun to interview entrepreneurs who've already been through the whole journey and learn how they did it from scratch.

Next week, we have the privilege of interviewing an entrepreneur who scaled his company from 0 to $100M/year in only 4 years, completely bootstrapped.

We have a few questions prepared, but we would love to get feedback from the r/Entrepreneur community as well so the interview can benefit as many people as possible.

Once this interview is done, we hope to transcribe it into an article that can become a valuable resource for other entrepreneurs to read too.

Looking forward to reading all of your responses!

I had the opportunity to ask a question in this scenario. He was in FineTech industry, I'm in the film business. I just met him very randomly and my question was, I'm having some challenges scaling, how did you achieve scale? He responded "I have no idea man, I make 0.02 cents on every transaction."

I certainly enjoyed my conversation with him but I walked away better understanding that each industry has its own challenges and not all skills as an entrepreneur translate to different industries.
