ATP450 Asia Matters: Why Asia Matters to the Global Startup Ecosystem

Description: In this week's Asia Tech Podcast, Graham and Michael discuss why Asia matters. They talk about how attitudes are shifting from a "lack of visibility" in Asia, to pioneering VCs on the West Coast turning to the Pacific for their latest deal flow. Asia tech investment stood at $19.3 billion as of mid 2017, compared to Silicon Valley $16.5 billion. Sure, SV is a fraction of Asia's population and land mass, but times are changing. The conversation covers the latest investment data on Asia, key headline figures for demographics and the role of the "Unicorn Creators" (of which Tencent has already invested in 19 Unicorns alone).
