In a blog post last year (lnkd.in/gFkSVaRT), our Partner Vinnie Lauria highlighted Vietnam's pivotal role as the growth driver of Southeast Asia's 'Startup Golden Triangle' - a term coined by Golden Gate Ventures (lnkd.in/gbpJFsdZ) that encompasses Singapore-Indonesia-Vietnam. According to Vinnie, Vietnam's startup ecosystem is poised at an 'inflection point,' emerging as a favoured destination for investors, driven by four key pillars: 👨‍🎓 1. Education - marked by significant government spending (4% of GDP) and household investment (5.5% of income - see attached graph). 👩‍🔬 2. Female Entrepreneurship - buoyed by robust women's participation, supported by the government's National Strategy on Gender Equality. 🙋‍♂️ 3. Raw Enthusiasm & Hustle - underscored by a vibrant culture of entrepreneurial passion, where having two business cards is common. 👩‍💻 4. Tech Talent - boasting software engineering quality unparalleled in the Southeast Asia region. We're delving deeper into these and more in our upcoming 'Why Vietnam?' report, co-authored with Boston Consulting Group (BCG) & BCG X, scheduled for release next month.

Earlier this year, we conducted an analysis to determine the universities from where the founders of approximately 100 of the highest-funded startups in Southeast Asia graduated (using Crunchbase and LinkedIn data). NUS from Singapore emerged as the most represented institution, with 18 attendees among the 227 founders we examined, underscoring its status as a significant pipeline for startup talent in Southeast Asia. Additionally, we found that schools from Singapore and the United States dominate the top 6 places in the ranking, before Indonesia's ITB makes an appearance at 7th place: 1. National University of Singapore (SG) 2. Harvard Business School (USA) 3. Nanyang Technological University Singapore (SG) 4. Stanford University (USA) 5. Carnegie Mellon University (USA) 6. Singapore Management University (SG) 7. Institut Teknologi Bandung (ID) 8. Monash University (AU) 9. University of Indonesia (ID) 10. University of Cambridge (UK) For more insights and the complete ranking, please visit: lnkd.in/g9EH9J3K (Disclaimer: This post was generated with help from ChatGPT by OpenAI) #southeastasia #startupfounders #universityrankings #investmentinsights

Thrilled to share that our Indonesia Associate, Christal Ng, recently participated in the 'Link-Up' Speed Dating Event in Jakarta, where she had the opportunity to meet with 50 exceptional startups, carefully selected from a total of 500+ applicants. The event, organised by T-Connext, Tinc (Telkomsel Accelerator), and our own portfolio company Xendit, not only showcased the vibrant entrepreneurial ecosystem in Indonesia but also highlighted the immense potential for transformative partnerships and investments, all driven by a shared passion for innovation and growth. At Golden Gate Ventures, we highly value these opportunities to engage with promising startups and entrepreneurs. We would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to ANGIN for hosting and we look forward to participating in future editions.

Today we shipped a feature we said we'd never build. Powerpoint export. After all, why would the team building the "anti-powerpoint" spend any time on this? Here's a quick 🧵 on our thought process.

This isn’t surprising… everyone, sadly, knows that SF is a destination for junkies from around the country. As hard as it is to arrest folks suffering from addiction, it’s actually the “best of the worst options” in terms of giving them a chance to get treatment.

I’d expect many of those who use drugs publicly to be from out of town, but I’m stunned by what @SFPDChief Scott reported here — only 3 of the 45 people arrested so far for public drug use have a San Francisco address. We should *not* be a destination city for public drug use.
