Asia Tech Podcast
with Graham D Brown
Singapore-based interviews with founders and investors across Asian technology, with a focus on the personal story behind the company.
Why an angel should listen
A long-running Singapore-based show that interviews founders, investors and operators across the region. The angle is more personal than analytical — why someone chose to build what they built, and what it has cost — which makes it a useful complement to the more structural regional shows.
For an angel the value is in hearing a large number of regional founders describe their circumstances in their own words. Patterns emerge that no market report captures: which markets founders actually find it possible to raise in, where talent moves, and what a realistic outcome looks like in a market without a deep acquisition landscape.
The episodes are shorter than most on this list, which makes it easy to work through a run of them when you are trying to orient in a new market quickly.
Where to begin
Start with these
- Several episodes in a row from one market, for the patterns rather than the individual stories.
- Interviews with founders who moved between markets.
- Investor episodes, for where regional capital is actually coming from.
