ASIAN SILICON VALLEY A HARD SELL: CRADLE

Risk averse mindsets and investors hinder its reproduction here

BY AMANDA EBER

Mr Lee: 'I don't think Silicon Valley is something that can be reproduced. It took 30 to 40 years of evolution for it to become what it is today.'

AMID the hype about Singapore becoming the “Silicon Valley of Asia”, there is one man who stands apart from the crowd.

Jonathan Lee, vice-president of commercialisation and ventures at Cradle Fund Sdn Bhd, feels strongly about his belief that Asian cities should create their own start-up scenes, rather than simply emulating Silicon Valley.

“I don’t think Silicon Valley is something that can be reproduced. It took 30 to 40 years of evolution for it to become what it is today,” he told BT in an interview last week. He pointed out inherent differences in mindset as a key barrier to producing an Asian clone.

For example, entrepreneurship is seen as a “taboo” career choice in Asia. Most people prefer to join an existing business rather than start their own. This stands in vast contrast to the US, where a strong culture of innovation breeds fleets of fledgling start-ups.

Asian angel investors tend to be similarly risk-averse. They often invest in familiar areas such as real estate or brick-and-mortar businesses, instead of the emerging high-growth tech start-up scene.

“Investors in Asia do not really understand tech start-ups,” said Mr Lee. He also stressed the importance of awareness to create a more conducive environment for angel investors and start-ups alike.

“The one goal that all investors share is that they want returns,” added Mr Lee.
Rather than dreaming of becoming the next Instagram, whose US$1 billion takeover by Facebook last month made waves worldwide, he advised start-ups in Asia to focus on monetisation instead.

“We have success stories like JobStreet and Nuffnang,” said Mr Lee. Although their valuations are not as high as Instagram’s, they are generating revenue and doing very well, he observed.

In any case, South-east Asia’s unique geography could also serve as stimulation for pioneering practices in the region.

Mr Lee highlighted the short travel time between countries in the region as possible motivation for cross-border angel investments, which would be the first of its kind in the world. Not only that – he also believes that the time is right to introduce syndicated investment to the region’s angel investing scene. Although popular in the US, syndicated angel investments have yet to take off here.

“With syndicated deals, investors have higher purchasing power, a lower risk of failure as well as an increased chance of success,” he said. Most importantly, it also lets investors mentor and learn from one another.

What’s more, previously “protective” Asian investors might be more inclined to share their knowledge and embark on co-investments in the future, he said.

Mr Lee will be in Kuala Lumpur this month for the Asian Business Angel Forum (ABAF), of which he is also co-chairman (off for ABAF 2012)*. It hopes to increase awareness among potential angel investors and cultivate the start- up scene in Asia.

“We want to be trailblazers and we hope that the ABAF can be part of the solution to these problems,” he said.

“The way ahead is here in Asia.”

ZDNET weighs in: Malaysia lacks tech angel investors

ZDNet Asia

Malaysia lacks tech angel investors

Ryan Huang, ZDNet Asia on April 26th, 2012


Angel investors in Malaysia generally are still unfamiliar with the technology market, and this is holding back the growth of startups in this sector, according to the country’s startup investment agency, Cradle Fund.

Besides better investor education, tax benefits and policies will also be conducive for crowdfunding and can help nurture the financing ecosystem, said Johnathan Lee, vice president of commercialization and ventures at Cradle Fund, which operates under Malaysia’s Ministry of Finance. In crowdfunding, a group of people gather to provide funds to support an idea or project.

In an interview Thursday, Lee told ZDNet Asia that many investors were more comfortable with other “low-hanging fruit” such as real estate, public-listed equity and financial instruments. “Many of them are skewed toward brick-and-mortar companies because they are more familiar with that,” he said.

Malaysia vs Silicon Valley
While startup ideas were not necessarily better in Silicon Valley, than in Malaysia, Lee noted that the U.S. financing ecosystem was more mature. He pointed out that this attracted many startups, allowing them to flourish in Silicon Valley.

He said it was important for Malaysia to boost investment interest in the local tech space, in order to grow the wider economy holistically.

“We are moving toward a globalized market and if we don’t nurture the ecosystem, we will be left behind,” he cautioned, adding that one possible consequence of this would be a brain drain.

As an example, Lee pointed to how Singapore was attracting foreign startups–including those from Malaysia–through its various financing schemes and more conducive policies.

One way to improve access to startup funds would be to promote crowdfunding, Lee suggested. “Current regulations in Malaysia do not allow crowdfunding in return for equity. If this can be allowed, it may be able to help startups and grow interest in angel investing,” he said.

“Current regulations in Malaysia do not allow crowdfunding in return for equity. If this can be allowed, it may be able to help startups and grow interest in angel investing.” – Johnathan Lee, Vice President, Commercialization & Ventures, Cradle Fund

Crowdfunding sites such as Kickstarter, IndieGogo and Quirky have taken off in Western markets, and the concept is gaining popularity in the region, he pointed out. One version, ToGather.Asia, based in Singapore, was launched in March.

“These sites can help complement the early stages of investments and have worked very well elsewhere, but it needs the right regulations,” Lee said.

He added that another way to promote the ecosystem is to introduce policies that allow for more tax exemptions for angel investors.

Upcoming conference a good platform
Lee is also co-chairman of the annual Asian Business Angels Forum (ABAF), which aims to promote investments in tech startups.

He is looking to use the conference, coming up in May, as a platform to educate investors and showcase some startups by “seeding” their products as part of the conference.

“For example, we are using technology from one of the startups for the online registration process,” he explained. “The Wi-Fi connection at the conference and analytics during the Q&A will also be technology from some of the startups looking for further investment.”

Who is Cradle Fund?
The agency was set up in 2003 under Malaysia’s Ministry of Finance, and is a not-for-profit organization that provides early stage funding with the Cradle Investment Programme (CIP), where RM150 million (US$49 million) has been allocated.

So far under its CIP Catalyst pre-seed fund, it has helped over 460 entrepreneurs, with 200 of them completing repayment of their loan.

Cradle Catalysing Angel Investments via ABAF 2012

PRESS RELEASE


CRADLE CATALYSING ANGEL INVESTMENTS VIA ABAF 2012
Private investments bridge funding gap in tandem with government grant reduction

Kuala Lumpur, 20 April 2012 – Cradle Fund Sdn Bhd (Cradle)’s co-organisation of the Asian Business Angel Forum (ABAF) 2012 is its biggest milestone yet, in Cradle’s on-going mission to fulfil its mandate to grow the angel investment community in Malaysia.

“Our continued effort to promote more angel investments aims to generate more funds to accelerate growth, increase the number of technology start-ups in Malaysia for a more vibrant technopreneur landscape, and drive Malaysia’s economic development towards a high-income knowledge-based economy. In the longer term, this is also in line with Cradle’s plans for a venture capital arm as angel investors are ideal co-investors for bridging the gap between early stage grants and later stage venture capital investment,” said Nazrin Hassan, Chief Executive Officer of Cradle Fund Sdn Bhd, a non-profit agency under the Ministry of Finance.

“The organisation of ABAF 2012 is in accordance with the Government’s aim to spur more private individual investment into early stage companies, as well as the Government’s intent to gradually reduce grants to a minimum by 2015. Beyond organising ABAF 2012, Cradle is working full-time with the Virtuous Investment Circle (ViC) to encourage private investments and to ensure that Malaysian start-ups have a substitute funding avenue that will allow them to grow. In particular, Cradle has been proposing for the Government to introduce tax incentives for angel investors, to help spur private investments by individuals, within the National Innovation Movement Year 2012. This will be a key step in the right direction and it will greatly help in reducing reliance on Government funding within the medium to long term,” Nazrin added.

“Leading technopreneur ecosystems around the world such as the Silicon Valley have shown us that private investments are key to increasing the number of innovative start-ups, which are an important funnel to build more global and regional companies. However, in general, entrepreneurs have it tough in Malaysia – 21% of business failures in Malaysia are due to difficulties in securing additional financing. This situation is a result of the lack of private funding alternatives in the early stage of a company’s lifecycle,” Nazrin further explained.

Last year, during the tabling of the 2012 Budget, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak announced that Cradle, which manages the Cradle Investment Programme and the Coach and Grow Programme under the Ministry of Finance’s purview, would be co organising ABAF 2012 with local angel investment group ViC, while the Malaysian government will serve as host and primary sponsor.

ABAF 2012 has recently been announced as the biggest edition to date, featuring 30 top speakers including renowned angel investors, business leaders, venture capitalists and start-up specialists, as well as 500 delegates comprising top entrepreneurs and other angel investors.

ABAF aims to raise awareness of business angels and educate potential individual investors in early stage private equity investment, besides encouraging cross-border investments and lobbying for conducive policies to encourage angel investments.For more information on Cradle, please visit www.cradle.com.my. More information on ABAF 2012 can be found at www.abaf.asia.
