Launching Growjek – ASEAN Tech, Digital, Startup & VC Newsletter

A quick note to readers of this site, I’ve started a biweekly email newsletter called Growjek.

Link to the latest issue here.

Sign up if you’re interested in a digest of ASEAN (with an Indonesia focus) tech, digital, startups, VC, internet, fintech, gaming, ecommerce, adtech and lots of other stuff related to the ‘new economy’ every other Friday.

There are already 124 other people on the list, so you’re in good company.

The Growjek thesis is this:

  1. ASEAN is the biggest and most exciting multi-decade growth and investment opportunity in the world right now — driven by ‘new economy’ tech
  2. Indonesia is — by size alone — the natural centre of gravity for ASEAN (sorry Singapore, but you have a crucial role to play as THE open-source regional aggregator platform!)
  3. ‘New economy’ investment and innovation flows first into ASEAN, and by extension Indonesia, but increasingly in the years (and decades) ahead out of Indonesia and across ASEAN

The Growjek newsletter will be more VC and investment focused than Digital in Asia, which covers a broader region, and a wider range of topics.

Enjoy!
