Find out where the new innovation hot spots are, what the next
consumer waves will be, and where to catch them
Asia’s innovation hot spots are fast emerging as first-choice
destinations for bright, young entrepreneurs. From Taiwan to
Singapore, technology center hubs are forming to rival the original
Silicon Valley. Startup Asia gives you a close-up view into
the key growth trends shaping entrepreneurship in China and India,
plus the new frontier market of Vietnam.
Showing how entrepreneurs and investors can start up in Asia and
go global, the book provides a first-hand, on-the-ground tour of
the new technology centers that are gaining momentum all over Asia.
Interviews with the most successful venture capitalists and
entrepreneurs reveal their winning strategies and show how a new
generation of entrepreneurs in China and India are no longer
looking to the West for their cues–but are instead crafting
their own local business models and success strategies.
* Shows entrepreneurs and investors how they can pursue their
dreams of launching successful start-ups in Asia
* Reveals that many of the same venture investors that first
funded young businesses in Silicon Valley moved into China, then
India, and are now finding their way to Vietnam
* Addresses the risks of doing business in Asia’s developing
markets, including lack of intellectual property protection,
political and regulatory shifts, bribery, and corruption
From high-profile Forbes contributor Rebecca Fannin, Startup
Asia is the essential guide for anyone looking to trek into
this new frontier.
