GOOD Key Takeaways:
Cash flow is king for commodity + supply chain business. AgriTech companies in Southeast Asia mostly empower smallholder farmers with upfront payment and only receives payment from downstream in a month or more. Hence, a typical cash flow challenge in supply chain.
Solar financing proven to be effective to accelerate solar adaptation. Sunny days for the solar financing players in Southeast Asia. See Okapi Tech from Malaysia who raised US$2M debt facility (link)
Serial entrepreneur does it again. Investors prefer to invest in serial entrepreneur. Why? Track record, network, ability to handle stress, etc.
