Janaki Technology, on April 27,
will be hosting World Startup Report public event in Kathmandu. The World
Startup Report is a social mission to document and connect the global startup
communities. The project was founded by Bowei Gai. Bowei is a Silicon Valley
entrepreneur and fire starter behind the World Startup Report. He was formerly
the founder of Snapture Labs and CardMunch (successfully acquired by LinkedIn
in 2011).
Startups are companies set up to
test business models developed around new ideas. Lately, the term startup has
been associated mostly with technological ventures. The startup culture in
Nepal is fast growing with young and energetic people coming up with innovative
ideas in the fields of technology. Many technological events and meet-ups are
being organized each year and lots of new startups are emerging in the country.
Bowei has been excited to come to Nepal ever since he was informed of ‘a
good deal of untapped technical talent looking for opportunity ‘by the product
director of CloudFactory, Mark Sears and Kailash Badu. Bowei also met
the Picovico founders in StartupChile and learnt about startup culture in Nepal
which strengthened his commitment to visit Nepal and document its startup
ecosystem.
The project, among others, has
been sponsored by 500 STARTUPS, StartupDigest, Startup Weekend and LinkedIn,
and provides readers with a global network of startup ambassadors and insights
into the market trends, cultural challenges and opportunities for new ventures
outside of the Silicon Valley. In less than 3 months, the project has
interviewed over 2,000 entrepreneurs, investors & policy makers in 5
different countries and held over 15 events. Entrepreneurs, investors and
companies are now looking abroad for growth and there are very few resources
available to them. The project aims at providing the entrepreneurs and
investors a glimpse of the countries around the world and opportunities
available there. So far, World Startup Report has documented and connected
the startup ecosystems in 29 countries and 36 cities. The ‘China Startup
Report,’ that Bowei published in 2011, has now unexpectedly received over
110,000 Slideshare views while recently published India Startup Report on March
19, 2013 has been able to gain a staggering number of viewers of above 124000
in a very short period of time.
Bowei is expected to be in
Kathmandu from April 26th till the end of the month and will attend
the World Startup event hosted by Janaki Technology on April 27th.
Bowei is expected to moderate a conversation between a panel of successful
entrepreneurs and startups and a team of growing startups which will be, then,
documented into a report for the Entrepreneurs, investors and companies around
the globe to provide them about an idea of the growing startup communities in
Nepal.
