I don’t think it would be a good idea to go to my bank account. Maybe if they go to Jothon, then it would be nice, maybe.
Any different small project of g0v, they have different way to raise their money. Like Cofacts, they get the grand. I think they are from the grand. Another, the election guide...
Vote Taiwan.
I really admire the people who run that project, who call Johnny, and I’m not sure if you met him. I asked him why, because he always be challenged from people in g0v, that why are you taking money from that organization? That organization look like they have different values.
And not that pro-parties.
Johnny would always be challenged. I asked him in the summit why he don’t use crowdfunding; we can also donate to the crowdfunding system.
He said, “If I am going to do that,” then that makes him to cover what he covered the source of those money from. He rather to do, “OK, you can see that, is that one even supporting me? But I’m still doing what it comes to.” I think that was wrong. [laughs]
That’s how he would do. I think crowdfunding is not that diverse, or that decentralized. That money might come from the same resource. It’s not really that...We can try and do that good. I wasn’t thinking about that before two weeks ago.
Yeah, I never thought of that. Maybe we can do that after this, so we can have more resource. The only thing I don’t want to do is to take money from the government.
Maybe. Maybe, but they will...
What if, for example, if you want to run a long-term project? Money would be necessary for you to run a long-term, if you have a goal, a very particular goal to do good in vTaiwan. This project, for this stage, I think, is not that kind of project.
Especially, it’s related to policy. Once you start to accepting donation, or there will be lots of hands. How do you say that? Lots of political, if they want to get the influence, it will be more complicated to handle. I’m not sure if I cannot do that well. If today, I’m doing a vote, Taiwan is not a good example. [laughs]
Like the MoeDict, they would be perfect for getting monies and services. Let’s do it. Let’s do the crowdfunding. This project, I’m not sure. I think we need to discuss with who are participation.
Come again.
A pleasure.
Can you share some experience of how you build the Fukuoka Special Zone, I mean how do you build up Fukuoka’s new startup programs?
Sorry to interrupt.
Just listening.
Thanks.
Between startups, especially from ASEAN countries.
ASEAN countries, yeah. That’s what we are doing now to connect more global startup ecosystem.
Is it about the tech world...?
Your article is about all of Asia?
Was?
Yeah, OK.
Yeah, field by field.
Maybe software? I think the challenges faced by software startups here might stand as a good example for all the four problems that Audrey just mentioned.
Sure.
Thanks a lot.
