NewCampus

NewCampus operates as a business school tailored for the rapidly evolving business landscape in Asia, focusing on scaling people and culture within high-growth companies. Founded in 2018 by William Fan, Fei Yao, Michelle Shi, and Eddy Chan, the Singapore-based company addresses the organizational development, performance management, and leadership needs of startups and technology firms. The founders, including CEO Will Fan and COO Fei Yao who previously worked together at Accenture, established the company after their earlier venture, QLC, which built leadership programs for universities. This background provided them with insights into the gaps in traditional education for modern workplace demands. The company strategically relocated its headquarters from Dubai to Singapore to leverage the supportive startup ecosystem.

The firm's business model transitioned from a B2C subscription for live workshops to a B2B focus, providing cohort-based learning programs. This shift was driven by observing user needs, particularly those of first-time managers in their late 20s and early 30s. NewCampus generates revenue by offering specialized learning and development programs, assessment tools, and workshops to a client base that spans industries like fintech, e-commerce, and logistics. The company has secured approximately $2.5 million to $4.5 million in funding over several rounds from investors including Chinaccelerator, Orbit Startups, 500 Global, and SOSV.

NewCampus's core offerings are designed to help organizations build resilient teams and effective leaders. Its programs cover topics such as executive coaching, stakeholder management, storytelling, scaling company culture, and resource planning. The curriculum is developed by combining insights from behavioral science and startup methodologies to address the human-centric aspects of business scaling. A key service is its live learning platform which delivers management training through sprints on topics like identifying leadership styles and managing remote teams. By partnering with over 500 companies and reaching more than 130,000 employees, NewCampus has established itself as a significant player in the corporate training and EdTech sectors in Southeast Asia. The company also engages in incubation and acceleration programs, grant and financing operations, and consulting to support the broader innovation lifecycle.
