A billion-dollor business starts with a billion-doloar team
This is highlight of today! I report the 2nd day of Techsource Summit in this blog. In certain reason, I couldn't be here for long so it will be short report.
*You can refer the report of the 1st day.
Keynote speech
The Digital Opportunity in Thailand and Southeast Asia
by Ben King - Country Head of Google ThailandI should have listened to this speech because he showed lots of important & concrete figures in this presentation. When I reached at this stage, this speech had almost finished....
A Journey to Startup Exit
by Marcus Segal - Former COO of Zynga
I expected that I could listen to one route to exit as an example but actually not. I couldn't catch the points of this speech...
As you know Zynga is the game company which grew up quickly with the success on Facebook game. They published lots of same series of titles such as "*** wars" or "*** Ville" but as long as he said they recognized this was not a great strategy.
How do the World’s Biggest Companies deal with Startups?
by Arnaud Bonzom - Director, Corporate Innovation at 500 Startups
This was so interesting but the time was not good? Audience was not so many.
This speech is about how startups can collaborate with big companies.
One example is Spotify. It raised money from Coca-Cola. Coca-Cola is very big global company. This is a surprising fact but it provides their product to almost all countries all over the world except for 2 countries, North Korea and Cuba. This means Coca-Cola is actually the company to sell the drinks but Spotify can get the huge delivery network on the earth.
One more fact. 23 of 25 French companies work with startups.
I guess this is to prevent organization or business from becoming stiffen.
He raised 8 ways to engage startups.
- Mergers & Acquisitions
- Investments
- Spin-offs
- Accelerators & Incubators
- Events
- Support services
- Startup programs
- Co-working space

Then we can manage any "concept" of mainly backoffice works like contracts or invoices as "tables". This enables us to manage these information flexibly.
