The Asian Entrepreneur is a Malaysia-based media company operating a crowd-publishing business media platform dedicated to open-access business content across Asia. Launched by former Harvard students, the platform is collectively manned by thousands of volunteer authors and editors and has produced over 1 million open-access business articles. The company announced it recently closed USD $8 million in investments and will rebrand to "Empirics" to broaden its scope beyond business. The rebrand is scheduled to be implemented from 2021 and integrated across the company’s stakeholder network during the year. The Asian Entrepreneur has partnered with several publishing houses and a tech development company to pursue wider publishing initiatives and to expand its digital platform with new services and features. Company leadership said the platform will retain its open-access model and that the new name reflects an ambition to elevate collective knowledge and experiences in Asia.
