I love his – I think sometimes I go a few months without having to make a decision. Such huge empowerment given to his exec staff.
Amazing stuff.
Everything starts somewhere. I think the old adage is the 2 people in a garage at the beginning working on a tech company.
In Asia there is a lack of garages for the most part but the rest of the issues and desires remain the same.
Some people are in a coffee shop, co-working space or their apartment or maybe their parent’s apartment.
Have computer will build startup seems to be the mantra.
Once that is settled you need some compute power, some tech/strategy help and if everything goes okay – you will need some capital.
Enter Project Alpha :: http://alpha.seedplus.com
Compute, help and capital all in on spot.

Platform Strategies Serve Go-Jek And Line Well In Southeast Asia:
Grace Xia, a venture investor with Jungle Ventures and former Tencent executive, says that startups aren’t cut out. They can become innovation pipelines to these platform companies. That could even lead to an acquisition by the biggies, which certainly is not unheard of in this fast-emerging tech innovative region.
Excited to share our next project – and especially stoked to have such an amazing partner in AWS.
Be sure to sign up for your city and please encourage any early stage startups to check it out.

Skift’s Top Travel Startups to Watch 2018 – Skift:
REDDOORZ SINGAPORE AN OYO WITH SINGAPOREAN CHARACTERISTICS
Money Raised: Close to $20 million Headline Investors: Jungle Ventures, Susquehanna International Group and InnoVen Capital
Skift Take: Launched in 2015, RedDoorz is a network of budget branded lodging, with more than 500 properties primarily in Indonesia but also in Singapore and the Philippines. Yes, the company is mimicking a model that others pioneered in India. But we bet that its executives, led by co-founder and CEO Amit Saberwal, have the rare skills needed to lead their team of 180 workers in fending off looming competition from Chinese-owned budget hotels.
Crypto is real folks.
