Evidence before ego
Discovery notes, analytics, and code reviews drive decisions so founders and product leaders see exactly why a direction wins.
Connecting Filipino businesses and communities worldwide.
Kislap.com is a Filipino business directory that helps Filipinos discover restaurants, shops, services, professionals, and community operators wherever they live. We started in New Zealand and are building a pattern for a worldwide registry.
“Kislap” means “sparkle” or “gleam” in Filipino — the same light we want to shine on every Filipino-owned business around the world.
