How Did mig33 Scale in Indonesia? [#StartupAsia Preview]

Mig33 is one of the largest mobile-only social networks in the world for feature phones users. Out of its whopping 50 million users, a solid half of them originate from Indonesia.

This year, we have also witnessed mig33 becoming popular among handset makers, partnering with some of the largest mobile manufacturers in China, India, and Indonesia. If Facebook is the defacto social network, I would call mig33 the defacto social network for feature phone users.

While companies are still figuring out how to scale quickly in Indonesia, mig33 looks to be gaining users pretty comfortably in Indonesia. Not only is it able to make and collect money from the Indonesian market, but it is also creating a healthy ecosystem for game developers in the country.

So we’re happy to have Steven Goh, the founder of mig33 to join us for coffee chat at Startup Asia Jakarta on June 8, from 9:20 to 9:50am. This will be the second time we have him on stage; the first coffee chat saw us pick his brain on venture funding, growth, and exits. This time, we will focus more on mig33’s growth and strategy in Indonesia. It should be fun finding out from Steven how he did it in Indonesia. We will also attempt to find out some of his bigger plans moving into the future. If you’re a game developer or someone who is into mobile, this is the session for you. Stay tuned for more previews as Startup Asia Jakarta draws closer!
