The market for pop culture has grown rapidly during the Covid-19 pandemic. Collectibles companies like Funko Inc. and Pop Mart have amassed multi-billion-dollar valuations and a loyal fan following. Here in Singapore, we have XM Studios, a collectibles company serving the high-end luxury collectors. The story of this homegrown company is truly unique when 3 brothers used S$1,000 meant for school fees to acquire a collectible toy store back in 1997.

Fast forward to end-2020, the trio has patiently built XM Studios into an acclaimed global leader capable of generating over S$20 million in revenues.

• How do you start up a company from almost nothing?

• What is the XM Studios business all about?

• How did XM Studios overcome the numerous obstacles along the way?

• The inside scoop into building up a formidable luxury collectibles brand

• What’s next in the XM Studios global growth story?

• Where is the international market for pop-culture headed?

Tune in for the exclusive webinar hosted by ADDX on 21 July (Wed) at 5pm to learn about this entrepreneurial story first-hand from Ben Ang, Founder and CEO of XM Studios. The event will be moderated by Choo Oi Yee from ADDX.
