Roar Apex, a fast-growing professional employment services provider, made a timely and impactful appearance at this year’s OOO Summit 2025 in New York City as a Silver Sponsor. The flagship event, curated by community builders Andrew Yeung and Carry, drew over 700 founders, operators, and investors from the US startup fraternity, eager to trade ideas, find solutions, and fuel growth.
For the US startup ecosystem, events like the OOO Summit have become essential gathering points, not only for networking, but for addressing some of the most pressing challenges faced by fast-scaling businesses today. Rising operational costs, increasingly competitive talent markets, and growing complexities around scaling teams have made it difficult for startups to sustain momentum. Talent shortages in key roles like engineering, data science, and growth marketing continue to slow down product development cycles and market expansion efforts. At the same time, salary inflation in traditional tech hubs like New York and San Francisco has forced many founders to rethink how, and where, they build their teams.
Against this backdrop, Roar Apex’s presence and proposition were perfectly timed.
“The OOO Summit isn’t just a networking event, it’s a convergence of sharp, forward-thinking builders redefining the future of work. Scaling today requires agility, speed, and world-class talent you can onboard yesterday. That’s what Roar Apex delivers by unlocking Asia’s top 1% of tech and marketing talent for fast-growth businesses, without the friction.”
