    AsiaSocial Issues in Southeast Asia

    There have been a couple of articles about issues in theSoutheast Asia startup ecosystem recently, and I feel the need

    to join in the party. What I have read so far are the same old

    points which we have all heard before: People in Southeast

    Asiadont take risks, theyre scared of failure, there are not

    enough Series A investors etc., etc.

    To me, I think it all comes down to one big

    problem: we are just not good enough entrepreneurs. (I will be

    the first to raise my hand and admit that I can be a better one.

    Its simple, really. Good entrepreneurs build good

    teams who build good products who attract users who are

    willing to pay for those products. You want Series A money?

    There are investors in Asia who will give it to you, but first,

    prove that you can build a f-ing awesome product. Prove that

    you can gain traction. Prove that its a scalable and profitable

    business model. (Alternatively, sell a f-ing good dream that

    investors might buy). If you cant do that, then no one can help

    http://sgentrepreneurs.com/2013/03/05/a-different-perspective-to-southeast-asias-startup-ecosystem/http://www.techinasia.com/take-entrepreneurial-risks-singapore/http://www.techinasia.com/take-entrepreneurial-risks-singapore/http://www.techinasia.com/take-entrepreneurial-risks-singapore/http://sgentrepreneurs.com/2013/03/05/a-different-perspective-to-southeast-asias-startup-ecosystem/

    you. Even if there were millions of Series A investors, no one

    would invest in your shitty startup.

    So where can you find these Series A folks with cash in

    their pockets ready to invest? Thats your problem as an

    entrepreneur (this is why entrepreneurs need to be strong and

    resourceful). Its not hardto find startups who raised Series A

    or beyond. Some, like MyRepublic, even scraped from 40

    investors to raise $10 million. Is this doable? Yes, but only if

    you have an awesome team and product.

    As entrepreneurs, we shouldnt be looking at the

    ecosystem, shaking our heads, and saying, Oh man, this is a

    fucking mess, aint a good place to build a company. Lets sit

    at one corner and sulk. Leave that problem to the bloggers

    who write about the big picture.

    And I admit that the startup ecosystem here does kind

    of suck; its certainly not as rosy as what we read on

    TechCrunch. But Southeast Asia

    isnt short on good entrepreneurs. If youre an entrepreneur

    reading this, would you choose to blame the ecosystem or go

    out there to build a f-ing good product for your target users? I

    believe we should choose the latter.

    Being a good entrepreneur takes time and failures.

    Entrepreneurship is a lifestyle, a lifelong journey. The

    more you do, the better you get. Southeast Asia needs good

    entrepreneurs and you could be one of them. If you are, you

    will be facing multiple failures. Get used to it.

    I say fuck the problems with the ecosystem. You cant change

    the ecosystem but you can set the direction of your startup. The

    biggest problem that is within control is you, my fellow

    entrepreneurs.
