ASIAN CYNICISM
‣ Parental restrictions
‣ Property/Stocks
‣ Bank hiring
‣ Low tech education
‣ Role Models
‣ Globalization
‣ Fear of Failure
‣ Singapore government has allotted massive funding,
schemes and matching budgets for startups.
‣ Lots of co-workspace.
‣ Lots of angels and investment groups.
‣ Government subsidies.
‣ Growth forces them to look Pan-Asia.
‣ English/Mandarin.
SINGAPORE
Startups in Asia 2014
‣ Low-cost, good English, Taipei is great.
‣ Major tech hardware brands.
‣ 23 million population. 17 million+ online. 60% Facebook
penetration.
‣ Low seeds and NO Series A.
‣ Good place to start if you want to go global but NOT
China.
TAIWAN
Startups in Asia 2014
‣ Think big. Then think even bigger. Then x100.
‣ A billion dollar startup < 10 different billion dollar
startups.
‣ Can create a hit in a single A-class city.
‣ Barriers to entry/exit.
‣ Beijing is Silicon Valley East.
‣ HK no longer a gateway to China: 

IF you want to go to China, GO to China!
CHINA
Startups in Asia 2014
‣ Next big tech sector in Asia.
‣ K-Pop, Korean Dramas = viki.com = US$200million.
‣ Samsung not driving innovation.
‣ Government set aside $4B for creative economy,
$400mm just for startups early stage investments.
‣ Not a market, Korean ideas don't always 

translate.
KOREA
Startups in Asia 2014
‣ What works in Japan not always scalable, cultural.
‣ Tokyo, Osaka and Fukuoka startup hubs.
‣ NOT a naturally entrepreneurial country.
‣ Amazing ideas, all in Japanese.
‣ Preach globalization, but long way to go, but who cares
seed to IPO all in Japan.
JAPAN
Startups in Asia 2014
‣ Malaysia: Growing, angel funds, tax benefits.
‣ Thailand: Growing market.
‣ Indonesia: Mass growth market.
‣ Vietnam: Developing market.
