Hi, Yu Kai,

our work rate is crazy. We have few software developers and few web designers. Sit in the same table to write code for 12+ hours a day. Most of us used to work for consulting firm, and software house, and 1 thing we learn is “CUT DOWN ON MEETINGS AND SOCIAL EVENTS” until launch.

I hope you do well, and I enjoy watching the “startup life” video very much.
If only I could provide 1 honest opinion: “Do 1 thing at a time, don’t have so many team members that do so many projects at the same time, it’s just distract your work”. If there is no accountability in some team member, they shouldn’t be in the team, because such behavior tends to build up “trend” and “habits” that others follow.

Hey asia, thanks a lot for your encouragement!

I definitely agree on the difficulty of raising money in asia before you have strong cashflow. How is your busy doing?

Hi, YuKai,

I checked every single day since the FD stuff started like 2 years ago. It’s like the first thing I do after I reached office. After 5 years of work, 6 months ago, I quit my good paying job and started working on my own. It’s more tougher here in asia to run your own stuff, cause there is never a way to find funding, you are always on your own here.

Wow, you read it everyday? That’s pretty impressive. Now I feel bad for updating it once every 2 weeks.

Any feedback on what kind of content you like better?
