The Silver Lining in Doing a Startup in Taiwan. . .
Patisco's Senior Account Manager, Sean Wei, had this to say in his recent blog on the topic of doing a Startup in Taiwan.Sean Wei from Patisco Episodes Blog |
Excerpt from Patisco Episode Blog:
"Of course, there is always the silver lining.
Taiwan is the best (and probably even ideal place) for startups that are focused on business, trade, and manufacturing related. In my view, Taiwan's startup environment is not for the young, unexperienced, fresh-out-of college folks; it's for the more mature, business savvy, culturally-tuned, and to some extent: the witty and fearless bunch. Connections and networking is vital, and understanding how "business is done here and there" is essential in just surviving in the environment here. Thinking and planning in global terms is necessary, unless you just want to be a startup that focuses on the tiny population on the island. And, to my fellow Taiwan peers who are planning to do a startup: business is cruel, get used to it. It's a dog eat dog world no matter where you are, stop whining and just do what you have to do to make your startup survive and succeed. Because if you're not willing to give 120%, then go find a 9 to 5."
