Good read, broken down simply. Thanks for sharing :)

Profitability is missing. IPOs are a distant dream. Valuations are high. Investor money is stuck, with no good exits in sight.

thanks for the perspective!

So crazy.

WSJ is too http://www.politico.com/media/story/2016/11/wall-street-jour...

True. But does it need to have those to be "Apple-ish". It's innovating at the very least. And they have LinkedIn :D

A really interesting company that enables depositing of leftover foreign currency change at airports.

Agree --> To be frank, I think its a decent movie but not something to go crazy about.

epic. good job jason :D

This is a must read for product managers and designers.

gotta help this guy!

I do. As founder of Tech in Asia, I admit I struggled a little initially because I kept thinking about money. But as time passes, I learned that there are things much more important than money. Don't get me wrong, I still think $ is important, I do want to be rich (who doesn't?). But money isn't as important as building a company with great culture, values and mission that is worth pursuing.

Life is too short to chase for money. Enough is good, more is better. Live within your means. I don't crave for a luxurious life. Money is an item to allow us (the company) to keep doing what we love doing. Valuation is a measure of how much the company has grown but I'm not obsessed with it. I rather spend my time being happy. Building a company with good culture, values and worthy mission makes me happy. If you're interested, our culture code can be found here: https://www.techinasia.com/culture/ :)

yeah, indeed.

Update: we changed our location and vertical analytics graph layouts overnight.

Hi Anand you're right that 2 of our analytics layouts share a very similar aesthetic to those on CBI. On behalf of myself personally and on behalf of Tech in Asia and the Techlist team, I apologize.

We're doing a lot of work to make sure Techlist is unique behind the scenes, and of course the data we're pulling into our site is unique and Asia-focused, but we definitely made a mistake in taking too much from CBI's visual design. It was a shortcut, and one that we shouldn't have taken, as it does a disservice to you, to Tech in Asia, and to our customers. There's really no excuse; we should have put more time into coming up with our own visuals.

In the immediate future we will be working on finding a more unique aesthetic framework within which to present our data.

Note: I'm the CEO of Tech in Asia that runs Techlist.
