USD Unicorn!
But Asia Is….
Asia Is NOT Only China, India, and Japan

How To Expand To Asia?
Amazon invested 2 Billion USD in India
and plan to enter South East Asia

Don’t Enter Asia
Don’t Even Enter China,
India, or South East Asia
Enter Tokyo, Shanghai, Singapore,
Bangalore, Beijing, Jakarta, or etc. instead
To Capture A Billion Customers. Start With 10 Million!
You don’t come to Asia
as a startup; You come
to Asia to be a Unicorn.
