Southeast Asia is quietly becoming a gaming powerhouse.

@serkantoto on why Malaysia, Indonesia, and Vietnam are emerging as major gaming hubs across outsourcing, co-development, indie games, and mobile gaming.

"It is insane to start a bank, and that comment still holds."

Jon Low on why he and his co-founders decided to build a bank anyway.

"We got really drunk, and we started to just complain about how moving money is really hard. And then some of our Thai co-founders were like, ‘Actually, not just moving money, but using money.’"

"It still takes three days for your money to go anywhere, and that’s assuming that some of the rails are there."

"So we thought, ‘Hey, why don’t we do it?’"

"In the payment space, you are much better served with someone that has a strategic interest rather than money for what money is worth."

"Garena served an underserved market in a very clever way."

@serkantoto explains why @Garena deserves credit for Free Fire’s success.

It wasn’t just about adapting a popular gaming format. They understood their local audience and built for a market that was underserved.

[The Offline Network SEA @OfflineOnAirSEA]

"Asia has actually built some of the most advanced technology ever at a payments level."

Jon Low explains how markets across Asia built payment systems that are 24/7, instant and free, challenging the idea that the region has lagged behind in financial innovation.

"Startups have an expected probability of zero. Most startups are expected to fail. It is a feature and not a bug."

Any founder who does not write on LinkedIn, they don’t exist.

[The Offline Network SEA @OfflineOnAirSEA]

Healthcare startups in Southeast Asia may need a different playbook.

In markets like the Philippines, Thailand, or Cambodia, the biggest opportunity may not be another B2B SaaS product. It may be building for the frontline.

@jeremyau explains why digitizing something as simple as pharmacies can be a massive opportunity in an underserved market, even when the same problem is already solved in Singapore.

[The Offline Network SEA @OfflineOnAirSEA]

“Nothing besides the founder will have a higher moral authority to drastically pivot the company when they need to.”

@tianglim explains why founder-led companies can respond to disruption faster than the tech incumbents of the past.

“Stablecoins are great because they settle 24/7 and they’re instant, but they don’t exist on their own island. You still need your bank connectivity.”

@jxlye believes stablecoins don’t replace fiat rails. They make the connectivity between them even more important.

The career world often rewards specialization. But Michael Smith Jr. thinks there’s real value in moving across different roles, industries, and functions, even if that path isn’t always rewarded.
