Seeking Tech & Marketing Co-Founder to Launch a Dual-Country Expat Advisory Hub (Philippines & Thailand)
Posted by Matt · Location-independent
What I Have:
• Deep Subject Matter Expertise: Exhaustive personal research and lived experience navigating the financial, logistical, and cultural landscapes of retiring in both the Philippines and Thailand.

The Vision:
We will launch a premium digital advisory brand—comprising localized "Slow-Travel" itineraries, relocation masterclasses, and digital guidebooks—focused entirely on helping Western retirees safely transition to the Philippines or Thailand.

Given the way things are going I'd imagine relocation to the Philippines & Thailand is quite interesting for many people, I have a few already amongst my friends who have either moved or are considering it. I would suggest targeting very specifically people from X country wanting to move as the procedure is different, legally and otherwise depending on the country you're leaving and your citizenship. But it is a great idea and I can see the potential in it. Do you have some existing clients/case studies already?
I would say that a comparison workbook could be a manageable first product: the same hypothetical retiree considering both countries, with clearly dated assumptions and links to official sources. A designer turns your material into a usable tool; a small group of prospective movers tests what remains confusing. That would help define the larger service.
