The economy spins along the flow. And now the Startup business is starting to play a bigger role. And with a relatively high startup revenue. This kind of business is more attractive every moment.
Startup business is a new type of business that is becoming more and more popular in the business world.
Startup is a fast growing new breed operator. With fresh ideas and differences when converted into a product or service, it can create unprecedented business value. Startup is not limited to the world of technology. Just use the technology to benefit the business. Find a business model to be able to replicate and expand the business around the world.

Great ideas turn the world around, think again, think big. The more people bring money, the more Startup Thailand has increased by at least 500 companies.

The success of Startup all over the world.
Google, Facebook, Alibaba, these global giants. In the past, it was a startup, and the founders were the new generation who did not have a lot of money, but crazy ideas and tools in the dot com to pave the way for businesses in the head to come out to the world. The cost is low. And today, those businesses have created tremendous value for the company. For example, Google generates a market value of as high as 12.5 trillion baht, or nearly the equivalent of Thailand's GDP.
Silicon Valley's reputation as the "headwaters" of global IT giants Production of knowledge workers. And many successes. As a result, Startup has become a trendsetter for newcomers. Including in ASEAN.
Startup groups in the ASEAN region have grown remarkably. Especially Singapore and Malaysia. It has the right components to set up a Startup (Startup Ecosystem) technology. IT workers The government is a key contributor to Singapore's uniqueness in the top 10 in 20 of the world's 20 new startup cities - ASEAN in 2015, according to Compass.
GrabTaxi application calls Malaysian taxi The highest value of the company in the ASEAN region is US $ 1.5 billion, or about US $ 45 billion, while the Startup Vietnam and Indonesia markets have grown steadily, causing the capital to start flocking to the ASEAN region.
Thai Startup Slow
Thailand started to see the startup trend in 2012, which is slower than neighboring countries such as Singapore, Malaysia for more than 10 years, but it is a leapfrog. So far, foreign capital needs to look back.
In 2014, Startup Thailand will be able to raise capital for a total of US $ 25 million. Not counting the sales, but in 2015, just over half a year raised $ 25 million, equal to the Startup market in Thailand, doubling every year.
There are also two Startup Thai companies, Ookbee and aCommerce, which have generated a high value of US $ 100 million or 3,000 million baht, which is considered the highest in Thai history.
Today Startup Thailand is not ranked in any ASEAN or Asia, but people in the Startup circles believe that. If next year is new ranking. We have to pin in the top not shy.
Currently, Thailand has a minimum of 500 Startup and a variety of high-tech businesses, including Hardware, Software, Web, Mobile Application, Lifestyle Business and B2B. Liquid up to 80-90% ever.
However, Startup Thailand has a unique personality that is different in the Startup group. The result is that Startup Thailand learns and grows under a natural ecosystem. No fertilizers are accelerated at all.
Venture Capital
Startup business needs funding. To push the business as planned. It may start with personal money. Or invite friends to invest. But ultimately, it is necessary to use larger capital. To develop business Grow fast But the small and new business. Lenders in the system are at high risk. So it's hard to get a startup fund.
Venture Capital (VC) is one of the alternative sources of funding that Startup Looks For, which includes the entire organization. Or venture capital funds that want to invest their money to invest with Startup with high growth potential. In exchange for the proportion of shares. The investment period is usually 3-5 years, but the money to startup, it must have products to see. At least Prototype with enough users at a certain level. There must also be a clear business plan. Business Model Possible Financial Projections are reasonable. It will create confidence for investors and attract capital.
Big Startup companies abroad have grown through VC funding, such as Google and Facebook. Many startups in Thailand have been able to raise funds from VCs, both domestically and abroad, such as the recent aCommerce fundraiser. A $ 5 million from Ardent Capital, Sinarmas, and Inspire Ventures.
Most Startup funding is around the clock. From small levels like the Seed Fund and the enormous amount of money invested in Series A, B and C. Each fundraising is intended to tell you how much money to do to investors to consider. Money is aCommerce, it is clear that the capital to scale Warehouse. Develop a strong platform. And added over 300 live teams.
In 2013, it is estimated that Global Startup Fundraising is a Seed Funding (Finding a Point Between Your Products / Services and Users), totaling more than $ 1.7 billion or $ 51 billion. The investment in the VC group will be more investment in the startup business in ASEAN. And for Thailand It is expected that the investment in Startup is not less than 10,000 million.
Thai Dream Startup Dangers
Even though it is the startup stage of Thailand, but compared with our neighboring countries. Thailand has a very small Startup. Due to the following factors:
The product is not as demanding as the market. Two years ago, Startup made the application come out full. It appears that no one used. Testing programs like throwing rocks into the water. No feed back. It can not appeal to capitalists to invest.
Access to Startup Capital Funds is not enough to develop products that expand the market in the past. Startup has to run for itself. By finding a great forum, presenting works abroad. But nowadays, opportunities for access to capital have become more choice.
Look at the domestic market Startup made products aimed at solving the problem of Thai people alone. It will be difficult to grow. Because the market is too small. To do things that can be extended all over the world.
Lack of English skills It is a weakness of most Thais. If Startup English skills are quite good. The advantage in learning. Because knowledge about Startup is usually in English. At the same time, language proficiency also paves the way to expand international markets more easily.
Government support I have to admit that the growth of Startup Thailand is due to the younger brother. But if the startup and quality of Startup is to be increased, the government will have to come up with various incentives such as incentives for VC to invest. Raising Funds or Crowdfunding encourages Startup to go out or make co-Founders abroad easier.
Even now, Startup Thailand is still very small, but Startup is a future business. And one of the key elements of digital economy. If the government cares for startup support in the right direction. The investment will create the next 10 years. Startup business will make Thailand out of the loop of the contractor. Which competes at cost. Because of the difference in products, Startup competes with Experience and Value Proposition.
Crowdfunding Crowd Funding
Crowdfunding or fundraising As an alternative to Startup, pay attention to the simpler steps. Lower funding cost And take a shorter time to apply for a loan from a bank or Venture Capital.
In 2014, the global crowdfunding capital market is worth more than $ 10,000 million. Crowdfunding is the biggest and most popular site in the world, Kickstarter.
In fact, Crowdfunding is not new to Thai society. Most Thai Crowdfunding Plattorm is usually in the form of Rewards and Donation, such as Afterword, giving writers the opportunity to raise money from books. Direct reading The first fundraising is in the middle of 2014, raising 1.2 million baht. In 9 months, 8 books have been produced or Taejai from the beginning wants to help people who want to do good for society. Currently, there are 8,000 members. There are 2,400 supporters in the project, amounting to 6.7 million baht for 80 projects.
