Tech in Asia’s series A pitch deck

Q&A

1. When was the deck created?
It was created in late 2012.

2. How much capital was raised and from whom?
We pitched it to Simile Venture Partners and ended up only raising US$288,000. We were very close to running out of money and were lucky to have successfully raised capital when we needed it the most.

3. Has Tech in Asia’s direction changed? If yes, how and why?
Yes, we are now very focused on producing great digital content and building up our subscription business. This allows us to earn from journalism and helps to ensure that we can keep serving our mission in the most sustainable and scalable way possible.

4. Lessons learned?
Raise money early, and even when you don’t need capital. You don’t know when new opportunities await.
