OUR PREDICTIONS FROM 2019

Southeast Asia is entering a golden age of rising affluence that has been associated
1
with large tech company formation in China, Korea, and Japan in the past

The region’s opportunities and unique complexity creates true home court advantage
2
for local platforms

We predict 20+ more billion-dollar value tech companies from Southeast Asia by
3
2029

4 At least half of these 20 companies will pursue IPOs over the next decade

New and existing tech companies in Southeast Asia will create an additional $400 billion
5
of incremental equity value by 2029

We think 70% of the winners will be regional platforms and 30% will be Indonesia-
6
focused platforms

There are 28,000 graduates of first-generation companies, of whom 1,200 are


7
already next generation founders; regional winners will emerge from this group

While the Series A/B ecosystem has strengthened, there is an acute Series C/D gap in
8
the market for $20-100 million checks; Southeast Asia is ready for growth equity

WARREN BUFFET’S TIMELESS METRIC

Market Cap Divided by GDP

“The ratio has certain limitations in telling you what you


need to know. Still, it is probably the best single measure
of where valuations stand at any given moment. Nearly
two years ago [in 1999] the ratio rose to an
unprecedented level. That should have been a very
strong warning signal.”
