Where Growth-Minded Filipinos Stop Playing Small—and Start Building Big

The biggest gap in the Philippines isn’t skills.It’s belief.Too many people are capable of leading movements, launching businesses, and creating change—but they’re stuck waiting for permission.

That’s why we created The Growth Network.

Not as another group chat, business club, or content page—But as a movement for builders, dreamers, and doers who are ready to grow together and help others rise along the way.

🌱 What Is The <a href="https://growthnetwork.exoasia.org/">Growth Network</a>?

The Growth Network is an open but private circle of entrepreneurs, high-potential professionals, creators, and growth-minded leaders committed to co-creating impact, innovation, and personal transformation.

We don’t compete. We collaborate.We don’t follow trends. We get there first.And we don’t grow alone. We pull others up as we climb.

Share tools, insights, and strategies that create traction and results

Spot trends before they peak, and co-create value around them

Build momentum together—whether you're scaling a startup or leveling up your leadership

Surround each other with accountability, alignment, and abundant support

The Growth Network was founded by Mack Comandante, a globally awarded Exponential Organizations (ExO) consultant, startup builder, and leadership coach with 20+ years of experience in strategy, operations, finance, and sales.

Mack has helped thousands of professionals and founders unlock exponential breakthroughs through his work at <a href="http://www.exoasia.org">Exoasia Innovation Hub</a>.

"We don’t grow by standing out. We grow by lifting others."

With The Growth Network, Mack is creating a space where growth is contagious—and where people no longer have to shrink to fit their surroundings.

👥 A Network of Builders, Not Bystanders

It’s the people.It’s the room full of:

Founders building category-defining products

Professionals who want to create impact, not just earn titles

Coaches, creators, and operators sharing blueprints, not just stories

If you’ve ever wanted to surround yourself with people who push you forward, think bigger, and believe in building something bigger than themselves—you’ll feel at home here.

🗓 April 22, 2024 | 6:30 PM onwards 📍 The Astbury Club, Makati

We’re kicking things off with a Growth Dinner Meetup—a private evening of deep conversation, aligned connections, and zero fluff.

Real conversations with fellow builders and future collaborators

Purposeful networking, not business card collecting

🎤 Tuesday Growth Feature: Meet Kislay Chandra as he talks about How to Lead Hyper-growth Companies

We’re also proud to host Kislay Chandra, Chief Operating Officer of Sprout Solutions—the Philippines’ foremost B2B SaaS success story.

Kislay is a product and operations powerhouse with 15+ years of experience turning vision into velocity.

Scaled from a scrappy HR startup to a regional tech leader

Launched products like Instacash to support employee financial wellness

Acquired JustPayroll Philippines and GainPlus Solutions

Expanded into Thailand, pushing the frontiers of Filipino innovation in Southeast Asia

Kislay brings to The Growth Network stage a real-time masterclass in strategy, scale, and execution—plus a rare inside look at what it takes to lead hyper growth companies in emerging markets.

You’ll want a notebook for this one. 🔥

The Philippines needs more people who don’t just talk about growth—but actually build it, share it, and multiply it.

That’s the soul of <a href="https://growthnetwork.exoasia.org/">The Growth Network</a>.

If you’re tired of being the most driven person in your circle…If you’re ready to grow alongside people who challenge and champion you…

Let’s connect. Let’s co-build. Let’s grow—together.
