Book Description
What does it take to successfully launch and scale a startup in Asia? While much of modern business literature covers Silicon Valley and its founders,building a company in Asia―a world center of technology and innovation―is a vastly different journey,and not nearly as widely covered. This book aims to change that.
Asian Founders at Work is an essential compilation of in-depth,incisive interviews with over 20 top technopreneurs from the region. Authors Ezra Ferraz and Gracy Fernandez have gathered their exclusive conversations with business leaders: Min-Liang Tan (Razer),Maria Ressa (Rappler),Chatri Sityodtong (ONE Championship),Patrick Grove (iflix),and Khailee Ng (500 Startups) are just a few.
Questions about early difficulties,fundraising,business pivots,strategic partnerships,exits via acquisition or IPO,and more are answered in great detail to shine a light on the founders’ unique experiences. Learn directly from game-changers in their own voice. By documenting these stories,the authors have created the largest and most comprehensive record of successes to date. Whether you are an aspiring entrepreneur yourself,a business student wanting to become well-versed in international practices,or an owner looking to expand to the area,this book provides a thorough guide to the startup culture in Asia from the most knowledgeable sources possible.
