Hello there ,

Do you remember that new workout regime you wanted to implement, that business you wanted to start, or that person you were keen on asking out for dinner? All these random and unrelated events share one thing in common: They will never become a reality if you are not bold enough to venture into the unknown.

The first step toward any aspiration is often the hardest, as there is no proof that it can be achieved. Nonetheless, it also acts as a springboard by providing us with momentum and the belief in our abilities to reach our goals. For instance, Mark Zuckerberg probably would not have built Facebook if he hadn’t first developed FaceMash, a website set up as a type of "hot or not" game for Harvard students, in 2003.

Startups, too, never really get off the ground until they take their first steps (i.e., bankrolling their business through several funding rounds). And in today’s premium pick, we analyze the list of startups in Southeast Asia that have recently raised funding.
