I’m Korawad, 20 years old. CEO and founder of Eko, enterprise workplace chat app. AMA!

Hi TIA Community,

I’m Korawad, CEO and founder Eko. We are an enterprise communications platform. Our customers include public companies worth more than US$25 Billion in market capital. Eko provides a secure communication platform for big corporations. Whilst Slack has features and traction among small businesses, Eko focuses on big companies who have a very different set of needs. Our product ended up very differently,  catered very much towards big companies.

We secured a US$1 Million seed round led by 500 Startups in 2013, and a US$5.7 Million Series A led by Gobi Partners this past August.

I’m happy to answer any question including the following topics:

• Entering the Chinese market as a startup
• The Mobile Enterprise Market
• Entrepreneurship
• Convincing your parents to let you stop school to run a startup 😉
• My struggles and journey

Ask Away!
