Guaya: the story of empowering SMEs in Southeast Asia Coming from the Philippines, Guaya is a serial fintech entrepreneur focusing on the empowerment of SMEs in Southeast Asia. She has 10+ years of experience in the financial sector as a startup founder, a specialist for international development agencies, and an independent consultant working with government agencies. It is commonly known that SMEs play a significant role in the Southeast Asian economy, but they also face a lot of challenges, especially after the pandemic when digitalization has become the trend. From Vesl, an insurtech startup that helps SMEs obtain financing to facilitate business operations, to Mochi, a PH billing and collections platform that digitalizes the invoicing process of SMEs to fuel growth, Guaya believes in the power of technology and is leading Mochi to make finance more accessible in every accounts receivable. 来自菲律宾的Guaya是东南亚金融科技领域知名的连续创业者，尤其是专注于赋能中小微企业。她在金融领域的不同行业有10年以上的经验，也是一些政府机构和国际机构聘用的专家。众所周知，东南亚数量庞大的中小微企业是当地经济的中流砥柱，然而，这些企业面临的挑战也不容小觑。尤其是疫情之后，中小微企业的数字化更加迫在眉睫。从2017年联合创立专注于中小微企业保理服务的Vesl到如今的财务自动化平台Mochi，Guaya深信只有不断通过科技赋能中小微企业，帮助这些企业做大做强，才是她作为创业者的使命与热爱。欢迎收听Guaya的故事！ 00:34 Guaya's background 01:42 Why Guaya loves entrepreneurship 02:44 Guaya's journey as a startup founder 07:34 Mochi's proposition and product 13:54 How SMEs have been affected by the pandemic 15:58 Some of Mochi's milestones 20:48 Guaya's take on the PH market and its potential Highlights: 1.

The pandemic has been a game changer for SMEs in Southeast Asia and has boosted digitalization across sectors and countries. 3. Fintech in PH is a huge sector with a lot of opportunities, including digital banks etc. Guaya主要观点： 1. 相比很多东南亚国家，菲律宾的中小微企业很少能获得资金支持，赋能中小微企业，做数字化服务是非常有潜力的。 2. 疫情对东南亚的中小微企业有重大影响，也极大促进了数字化的趋势。 3. 金融科技领域是菲律宾未来的增长重点，很多细分领域，比如数字银行等都大有可为。 https://www.mochi.ph/ Hosts Kate: VC investor/entrepreneur Julia: overseas Internet industry practitioner Next Door Stories is also available on Spotify, Instagram and Meta, brought to all by Chloe.

Siyi: the story and dedication of bringing Chinese tea to the world Growing up in China, Siyi wasn't an avid tea drinker at the beginning, but her years studying in Europe had led her to see tea in a different light. From founding Mannheim Cross-Cultural Tea meetup which expanded to include 13 nationalities to becoming a tea master, she has found the passion of her life. With TPlays opening in Singapore Takashimaya, she is on the journey of creating a brand new kind of tea experience that is safe, fun, easy and healing for people all over the world. Siyi虽然来自茶文化盛行的中国，但她最初并不是一个非常爱喝茶的人，甚至可能和很多朋友一样，觉得传统中国茶的口感有些单一。后来在欧洲求学期间，Siyi体验到了欧洲的茶，和中国茶的巨大差异反而让Siyi对中国茶兴趣大增，接受专业学习并成为了一位茶艺师。从发起曼海姆茶会到创立TPlays，Siyi正在把一种全新、有趣的中国茶文化带向世界。欢迎收听Siyi的故事！ 00:34 Siyi's background 03:03 Siyi's first encounter with tea 04:37 Siyi's journey of tea learning and becoming a tea master 07:23 How to identify quality tea 11:58 How consumer behavior is different when it comes to taking tea 15:34 The unique proposition and products of TPlays 20:50 How globalization affects tea and tea culture 21:53 TPlays' localization strategy in Southeast Asia 31:48 TPlays' future plan Highlights: 1. Different species of tea from different regions of China have different characteristics in terms of aroma, taste etc. Oolong tea for example has floral aroma. 2. With regards to consumer behavior, western consumers in general prefer standardized tea and tea with floral aroma. In Southeast Asia, consumers are also very interested in localized flavor tea, for example pandan tea. 3. Though China has a big online shopping market, in Southeast Asia, tea is more suited for offline retail and travel retail. Siyi主要观点： 1. 中国不同地区出产的不同品种茶各有特色，在茶香和口感上也有所不同，比如乌龙茶一般会有花果香味。 2. 相对来说，标准化的茶和花果香味的茶更受西方用户的欢迎。在东南亚市场，口味本土化的茶，比如斑斓茶也很受追捧。 3. 在东南亚市场，茶品的销售更多是在线下与旅行相关的零售场景，而非社交媒体或者线上电商。 TPlays @Singapore Takashimaya TPlays, a fun tea experience TPlays Christmas special Hosts Kate: VC investor/entrepreneur Julia: overseas Internet industry practitioner Next Door Stories is also available on Spotify, Instagram and Meta, brought to all by Chloe.
