   How Two SG Founders Beat Korean Skincare Giants Without Big-Brand Money [TBS 64]

   A customer watched her live stream for SIX months before buying anything. The reason? "You're not someone that fly by night." Dawn sits down with two homegrown Singapore care brand founders - to break down how small local players actually win in a market dominated by Korean giants and Western imports. It's not bigger ad budgets. It's not paid magazine awards (those are scams - they tell you why). It's the founder showing up, every day, on TikTok Shop, on Telegram, at Artbox booths, until the trust compounds into customers who buy 38 times instead of once. If you're building a brand in a saturated category, skincare, F&B, fashion, anything, the playbook is in here. #TFCBusinessShow #SingaporeBusiness #FounderLed #Ecommerce #SmallBusinessSG #Skincare --- 🎧 The Financial Coconut: Your weekly source for empowering financial knowledge and unlocking possibilities.

   The Biggest IP Mistake: Treating It Like a Checklist [TBS 63 ft IP for Growth Awards]

   Three companies, three very different IP playbooks. A top-10 global dairy brand patents individual probiotic strains and prints the story on packaging to justify a premium. A food-traceability startup patents its core process but keeps its actual signature method a trade secret, refreshed yearly to catch counterfeits. A local kopi-brewing startup can't patent its process at all, so recipe, hardware tweaks and a registered trademark do the heavy lifting instead. Despite the size gap, the panel lands on the same warning: IP gets treated as a box to tick, filed and forgotten, instead of an asset that needs an active go-to-market plan. Getting granted is the easy part. Figuring out whether that patent should drive pricing, unlock licensing revenue, or protect a supply chain is the part founders skip. For anyone weighing whether to patent, trademark, or just keep quiet about how something is made, the panel's breakdown of costs, timelines and trade-offs is a useful gut check. Guests: Dr Eugene Ho, Director of Research and Intellectual Property, Inner Mongolia Mengniu Dairy Loh Jian Yuan, Chief Operating Officer, Kopi Near Me Pte Ltd Alrik Tan, Co-Chief Executive Officer and Chief Scientific Officer, Natural Trace Private Limited What's currently sitting in a business unprotected: is it because it's not worth protecting, or because no one's gotten around to it? --- 🎧 The Financial Coconut: Your weekly source for empowering financial knowledge and unlocking possibilities.
