Finding The Next
   BIG Thing
               Yaw Shin Yeo
 NTC Silicon Valley Entrepreneurship Forum
               2 March 2013
Who am I?




Hi, I’m Yaw. I am the investment manager at Infocomm Investments looking after our
activities in the US. I work closely with our portfolio companies Twilio and Quid, and
spend most of my other time advising entrepreneurs on Asia expansion. I meet with
hundreds of startups every year over coffee and probably drink too much of it for my
own good. In my previous life, I was a IT repairman, firefighter and plumber.
So how has tech
entrepreneurship
 changed in the
 last 10 years?
I     Cost of starting a tech company
      has dropped dramatically


II
      Maturing models of describing
      the startup process



III
      Rising popularity of
      startup accelerators


IV
      Tech entrepreneurship
      becomes more global
I + II + III + IV =
Great time to be an
   entrepreneur!
Startups Continue to Push the
Technology Edge
1.    User Interfaces : Leap Motion, Thalmic Labs
2.    3D Printing : Shapeways, Makerbot, TurboSquid
3.    Programmatic Adtech : Media Math, DataXu, RocketFuel, Criteo
4.    Big Data : Cloudera, Palantir, Mu Sigma, Opera Solutions, 10gen

9.    Video : Tremor Video, Machinima, Vidyo
10.   Mobile : Zenprise, Flipboard, Waze, Entreproid, Aereo
But more interestingly,
     technology is
    now disrupting
  business models in
 traditional industries
Transport



    Google’s “self-driving car”     Getaround’s P2P rental model




Uber’s on-demand “private driver”    Zipcar’s self-service model

Finance




                              Lenddo is using social networks
 Lending Club’s P2P model   to evaluate your financial reputation
Education




   The Minerva Project                   Khan Academy




           MOOC – Massive Open Online Courses
The Internet Revolution Has
Only Just Began…




                  Source : Technological Revolutions and Financial Capital by Carlota Perez
… and Some of the Biggest
Opportunities Are in Asia



                                     More than 1 billion
       4.2 billion people
                                    smartphones by 2015




  Rise of the middle class and   “Green Field” opportunities
   growing purchasing power

One more thing …
Practical Tips for An Aspiring
Asian Entrepreneur

1.   Market size and geography matters
2.   Competition (or lack of) can work for you
3.   Do you really need venture capital?
4.   Revenue is essential
5.   Be creative when it comes to hiring
