High Time for Korean Startups to Ride on Digital Fever in Southeast Asia(6)

High Time for Korean Startups to Ride on Digital Fever in Southeast Asia

With the exception of Singapore, capital markets and legal and institutional systems for startups in the region aren’t well devised and developed as well. However, venture capitals, symbols of adventurous money would remain indifferent unless they feel confident of more gains than losses by stepping into the digital frenzy in Southeast Asia. This also holds true to Korean startups and venture capitals gearing up to carve out the Southeast Asian market.


Local startup founders have made unanimous voices that success stories of mainland Chinese startups have inspired them a lot. It is a shame that Korean startups are rarely mentioned for role models of Southeast Asian young entrepreneurs. Beginning with promising industries including fintech, education and mobile games, now is the right time for Korean startups to hit the digital road hard in Southeast Asia.
