Last week I hosted a fireside chat and talked about the dos and don’ts for early stage founders with Alex Chen, CEO and co-founder of EZTABLE 簡單桌 - 預訂美好用餐時光 (AW#1). Alex gained a wealth of knowledge in his 10 years of entrepreneur journey, being funded by Ikyu.com in Japan, AppWorks in Taiwan, and Disruptive Innovation Fund in the US. Alex also lead EZTable’s expansion into Singapore, Thailand, Hong Kong, and Indonesia. So much great knowledge was shared during our fireside chat last week, but the key message Alex wanted people to takeaway was:
- Only scale if your unit economics can improve.
Getting funding and being able to drive your topline is great, it’s exciting to talk about expansion and growing GMV. But if your expansion comes at a cost of deteriorating unit economics, then you are most likely scaling prematurely. At the end of the day, you shouldn’t serve twice as many people if it costs twice as much to serve them.
- So how do you avoid scaling prematurely?
Alex divided how one could spend their funding into three ways - Management, Marketing & sales, and Research & development. The importance of improving management early on and having a structure is key to improving your efficiency and unit economics. If Alex were to do it again, he’ll put more resources into hiring top management - like Sheryl Sandberg of Facebook, rather than driving his top line first.
If you are a new founder starting out, one of the best ways to learn is through experienced founders like Alex.

sheryl sandberg now 在 貓的成長美股異想世界 Facebook 的最佳貼文
[粉絲頁成立兩年有感]
好快, 粉絲頁已經成立兩年了.
過去ㄧ年, 在跟投資有關的記憶中, 最深刻的, 不是成立線上美股研究社團的辛苦, 而是網路上經歷的風雨(原來自己也有呼風喚雨的能力?;p). 在這個特別的日子, 我想再次謝謝在我身旁守護我的, 從未謀面的股友們. Thank you my guardian angels.
另外, 我也要謝謝Sheryl Sandberg的書Option B. 您的書, 讓我了解到, 不能把甚麼事情都攬在自己身上(唉, 女人最常這樣想了.) 也謝謝您讓我更深刻地了解到, 在社群媒體的分享, 仍會有著善意的回應.
另外, 我也想謝謝讓我經歷狂風暴雨的人們. 謝謝你們讓我了解到很多事情: 讓一度對人性以及台灣鄉親感到失望的我, 重新看到了人性美麗的ㄧ面, 也堅持把粉絲頁留下; 讓我見證了"當上帝關起了一扇門, 必會再為你開啟另一扇窗"這句話(有了私群, 聊美股聊得更起勁了); 讓我了解到多年的刻苦異鄉生活, 不知不覺已培養了我魔鬼般的韌性(never underestimate the power of women.) 這些只是一部分而已.
尼采說, "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger." This is how I feel now. I will be around. Not in that cyber space, but I will be around.
想要與我聊美股, 想要與其他的股友聊美股(不聊明牌), 在我的私群見:)
