Arch-rival DeNA was one step ahead of GREE entering the Southeast Asia market. It’s kind of self-explanatory why GREE is also taking an interest in this region, as there is so much potential in regions like Thailand, Vietnam, and Indonesia. But GREE isn’t just eyeing the social gaming space.
If you’re an avid reader of the blog, you may recall that a $25 million investment fund, GREE Ventures, was recently established to invest in Southeast Asian startups, especially in Indonesia. That certainly caught our interest. Through our conversations with GREE, we also understand that the Japan-based social gaming network has lots of plans to work with startups in this region.
Joining me at our upcoming coffee chat session at Startups in Asia (Singapore) are Tatsuo Tsutsumi, director of GREE Ventures Investment Office, and Noritaka Kobayashi, head of APAC business development at GREE. In this coffee chat, both will share what GREE has in mind for startups in Southeast Asia. I hope to find out exactly why GREE has decided to spend resources in the Indonesian market, what type of startups it is interested in, and how can startups leverage GREE to create winning situations.
