Our guest for today is Mark Hsu, a Taiwanese-American entrepreneur & investor who has been based in Asia since 1996. Stanford graduate, Mark is currently running a portfolio of companies in education, e-commerce & internet-enabled services.

Our topic for today is funding options for startups in Taiwan. Mark explains that while Taiwan no longer requires a minimum paid-in capital, the reality is that government grants are heavily tied to paid-in capital.  he said, in most situations, the grant will be a discount to your paid-in capital.

As an investor, he also enumerated the pointers that he is looking for when investing in startups in Taiwan. He noted that he has funded a number of foreign startups.
