I just joined forces with Tencent, Ask Me Anything

Hello TIA Community,

I am Natavudh Pungcharoenpong, you can call me “Moo”. I am the co-founder & CEO of Ookbee.

Ookbee is one of the biggest e-book store, and (User Generated Content)UGC-centric community in Thailand. We have e-books, comics, music, stories, fiction, and more! We’d recently launched Ookbee U, a joint venture between Ookbee and Tencent.

I am also a venture partner at 500 Startups running the 500Tuktuks fund, a $15.4M fund focusing on Thai startups. We’ve invested in 30 companies in the past 18 months.

My day-to-day at Ookbee involves taking care of the runnings of the company, finding the right people to join our team, fundraising and product direction.

Here are some fun facts about me:

• I enjoy speaking in front of large crowds
• I do crossword puzzles in ink
• I read lots of comics online
• I lose too much money trading online (oops)

Here are some topics you can ask me about:

• Startup ecosystem in Thailand
• Anything about 500 Tuktuks and Ookbee
• UGC trends in Thailand

Feel free to ask me anything!
