Yeah, thanks for taking the time. I don’t want to take too much of your time.

The reason why I wanted to come in and meet you is, as foreigners starting a company in Taiwan, we get asked a lot, by a lot of people, "What’s going on in Taiwan? What is the tech community doing?" Any time that we have friends from abroad who have friends of friends coming in, they always introduce them to us and they ask us these questions.

We try to get them the best answers that we can, but we’re a little bit ‑‑ when I say "we," I mean mostly me ‑‑ out of touch with what’s going on. We just want to give them better answers.

Me and my cofounder of the company, we under the entrepreneur visa here in Taiwan, so we know about that. We know about the NDF, becoming LPs.

I’m not sure.

This I actually get asked about a lot, visas for foreigners, that sort of thing.

I’ll Google this later. What was the name, so I can look later?

I’ll look through this...

Anything that I can find online and Google, if you just mention the name, I won’t waste your time.

I have not heard of that either.

Here?

But in Taiwan?

This is different from the NDF thing?

The National Development Fund, they became an LP and GD1 and 500 Startups.

It’s a different thing?

Something related, I say that I get a lot of foreigners asking me, which happens a lot, but there are these people, too, to ask about the g0v grants? When I Google g0v grants, it’s all non‑English. What’s the gist of...

So translation’s reasonable?

Some stuff.

I’ll be able to figure it out. The second from the left, we worked with him.

One other thing, just at a high level, people ask me a lot what is Taiwan government’s work with the tech ecosystem. Besides specific programs, what would you tell them for the tech ecosystem?

A digital nation plan?

This seems like this was what I was curious about. I’ll try to have a look at this later.

It sounds like a big plan, but what would be the bullet points?

You mean of government content?

I saw that.

Is this prototype available for a little while? I’ve seen...

...on g0v.

Maybe this is a dumb question, but this is a proposal or this is a "we’re doing this?"

Thanks for the answers.

I had one other question. How can people help, either individual people or groups of people?

By countersigning, you mean if someone proposes legislation and you get people saying...

Are they going to do it?

You’ve given me enough things that I can go home and Google this. This stuff is really hard for me to find on my own. It’s hard for me to...

Yeah, I don’t really know...

PDIS?

I’ll send this to some people, too.

Just out of curiosity, are you getting anybody in government to do that? I don’t mean forcing them to, but has anyone picked that up?

They’ve had a pretty consistently positive reaction?

Is that a google "Wednesday 2:00 PM vTaiwan"?

Uber’s coming back. This is where that process kind of...

That covers a lot of bases there.

I’ve got some reading and googling to do, but I have the right direction now. Thank you.

Thank you for the time. Thanks for taking some time.

You have a very comfortable office, actually.

Yeah, and this whole setup is a lot more relaxing than most places.
