Southeast Asia hit a new milestone recently as Facebook announced its investment in Indonesian ride-hailing unicorn Gojek. Although many other American tech companies like Google, Microsoft, and Expedia have long been active in SEA, this investment marks the social media giant's very first foray into the region.
In terms of ride sharing, it's a two-horse race with Gojek still maintaining an edge on its home turf in Indonesia, while Grab continues to dominate in markets outside of Indonesia.
Fintech has always been a key component of ride sharing startups in attempt to develop deeper customer loyalty (for riders and drives), increase stickiness, and improve profitability with higher margin products like financing, insurance, or payments. And the recent move by Facebook (and Paypal) may just help Gojek tip the scales in its favor.
Its digital payments arm Gopay is now the most widely used e-wallet in Indonesia and was instrumental in helping Gojek build up early traction in the second largest cash-based country in the world.
Widespread penetration of Facebook's social media platform, along with messaging services like WhatsApp and messenger, may help Gopay further expand its reach, and together with Paypal's online payment portals, offer a truly seamless, value-added experience for its users.
Of course, taking American money is not without potential risks down the line. As evidenced by its recent $5.7B investment in India-based Reliance Jio, Facebook will stop at nothing for global domination and may very well strike up similar partnerships with competitors in the space.
All-in-all, the SEA ecosystem has evolved tremendously in the last few years, and its refreshing to see homegrown startups eliciting the attention and interest of international stakeholders, surely signaling a new stage of maturity that will hopefully bring more resources, talent, and opportunities to the region.

Over the past few months, we have been working closely with Tech in Asia to produce a documentary called “Crossing Borders,” which tells a story about the Greater Southeast Asia (ASEAN + Taiwan) startup ecosystem and some of the founders who make tech innovation happen here.
The story is complex. As varied as Southeast Asia is, its founders are even more varied.
This short video introduces you to three of these founders whose journeys have taken them to Taiwan.
Joel Leong (AW#13) -- co-founder of ShopBack, the region’s largest cash-back rewards platform, which is based in Singapore and has an R&D team in Taiwan
Jin-Ni Gan (AW#19) -- A Malaysian founder who lives in Singapore, Jin-Ni founded a micro-mobility startup called Telepod, which seeks to enable better transportation options, and a cleaner environment
Hai Ho (AW#18) -- A blockchain-focused founder based in Vietnam, Hai created Triip, which seeks to help residents of the region travel to places that are not normally on the typical tourist maps
The video is a good primer for showing some of the reasons why Southeast Asia founders launch here, or explore the market dynamics of this thriving country. Among them are:
* Mobile penetration rates that rank among the largest in Asia
*A digital economy and strong e-commerce legacy worth north of US$42 billion GMV per year
*Large pockets of SEA communities in cities like Taipei, which include a demographic that spans the Philippines, Vietnam, and Indonesia (in fact there are over 80,000 Vietnamese in Taiwan)
*A population of engineering graduates numbering over 25,000 per year which many startups turn to for their backend and front end engineering development
*And don’t forget the many global technology companies, like Google and Microsoft, that have staged R&D practices here
For many founders out there who do not think of Taiwan as a tech-forward, e-economy-driven country, which shares similarities to the SEA ecosystem, this video and these facts may be an eye-opening experience.
If you are a founder in Southeast Asia, or a founder working on AI / Blockchain and would like to belong to a community of founders who work together to solve critical problems, apply for our next cohort, AppWorks Accelerator #21.

The COVID19 pandemic has been a challenging experience for many founders, but it has not slowed many of them down. Stay tuned for a follow up video we produced showing how founders in Southeast Asia have dealt with COVID19 and regional lockdown.
