This was an excellent event. Thanks to the Cyberport IncuTrain for organizing.

I really enjoyed the wide range of speakers, who all provided different perspectives on tech start-ups and venture capital. It left me really motivated with regard to the plans I have for my own website which provides free classifieds, www.Admart.Asia.

In particular, a number of attendees from the US really encouraged me that this kind of business had great potential for growth in Asia, but further, I also was quite influenced by a speaker who commented that website like ours should not necessarily confine themselves just to one country, or region, but rather go global (eBay, Yahoo, Google, etc). So this is now something I am now also seriously considering once we have the Admart site fully functional in Asia.
