About Us

“Business is a journey not a sprint."

The in our logo represents the ups and downs of business eventually become a long-term, upward trajectory with the right support and resources. The name “Work In Progress”, reflects our pursuit of efficiency through relentless trial & error. Business is not a linear progression; it is more like a rollercoaster whose track is risky, invigorating and could end in potential failure. At WIP, we understand this, and we commit to supporting you through the journey. Our ultimate goal is to position the business into a J curve.

“I can accept failure. Everyone fails at something. But I can’t accept not trying.”

- Michael Jordan
