Amit: thoughts on events such as DEMOAsia  happening in Singapore?
Jeff: This is a helpful and good forum for Singapore and the entrepreneurial scene in Asia in general. It gives us a chance to look at new ideas and also for the entrepreneurs to expose themselves to venture capitalists as well.
Michel: yes this is good forum. Too bad not enough time for us to talk to the individual inventors.
Guy: yes this is a good forum. We are always looking at new technologies and new inventors to invest in.

Michel: some of the products shown may have a problem breaking to highly regulated industries hence suffer from a problem in terms of adoption. So try to steer clear from highly regulated industries.

Guy: I need to emphasize on the strong IP protection. Of course, things are getting better in Asia now. However, if you do not have strong IP protection, chances are high, any interesting products or ideas will be quickly copied by competitors.

Jeff: Some of the pitches we have seen they look for a problem and then they search for a solution. Some have it the other way round. They first develop a solution first. So when those with a solution first situation, they need to focus on 1 problem that fits the solution they have.
