[What happens to network effects when they cross the border?]

It often seems that startups with solid network effects are nearly unstoppable. When a network reaches critical mass, it seems like an inevitability that the company will dominate as the ever-increasing value it provides is recognized by more and more users.

What happens when the company, growing exponentially, decides to dive into another market? In many cases, the market entry is not met with a big splash, but a small drop. The company receives no credit in the new market for their valuable network at home. Many startups acknowledge that they need to build up a local network, but they differ their approach in the new market. They attempt to build up the new network by simply creating awareness and throwing marketing dollars at the network. This differs from their original home market approach, where they identified a core group of users and focused on building out the network for this group.

But often, there’s no shortcut and the network often needs to be built up from scratch. Yes, the startup does have some advantages with product development and takes a lot of learnings to the new market, but the approach should not be to stand on the shoulders of the home market. They should build it up the old-fashioned way.

Not all network effects are created equal here. In forums, a network where content is key, the language will play a key role in how portable the network effect is. A Taiwan-based forum, with content in Chinese, will have an easier time expanding into Hong Kong than Japan. Unlike a Hong Kong user, a Japanese user will see nothing of value, so the company could focus on building up the Japanese network from scratch by starting out with one small, core group.

Airbnb, initially focused on the US, easily found hosts internationally who were eager to serve traveling Americans. As hosts came onto the platform in international markets, domestic travelers in those markets followed.

Clubhouse, of course, was able to simultaneously enter many markets by offering must-hear content like Elon Musk grilling Robinhood villain Vlad Tenev, which had global appeal, to their platform and maxing out FOMO. Long after Musk and other stars made their appearances, mere mortal users still remain to chat amongst themselves.

Facebook, initially full of English content and Americans, faced an uphill challenge to onboard networks in non-English speaking countries and foreign countries. The arrival of FarmVille, a game that spoke to users of every language, pulled new users onto the platform. Before long, there were plenty of non-English speaking friends on Facebook.

When network effects travel across the border, your mileage may vary. Some startups will have a much better time replicating their success in new markets. Others will find success only by being innovative or carefully selecting markets. And others still will find no shortcuts and methodically build from scratch. Which one are you?

#Editorial AppleDailyHK｜"Now the CCP has launched a jarring, tempestuous Hong Kong revolution and wantonly wielded its iron fists of the dictatorship of the proletariat, it is almost as if the CCP has moved its long-established methods of struggle to Hong Kong, yet in reality, this is completely different from all past sorts of civil wars and power struggles. This is a struggle against universal value. This is a fight against civilized society. And this is no doubt going to be a whole new chapter in the revolutionary history of the CCP. When the flag of the CCP flutters right on top of the Government House (who knows if it would be renamed the Red House or Bauhinia House by then), the CCP can then declare that the theory of the Hong Kong Revolution under the party’s leadership is a core component of Xi Jinping’s thought, as well as the pinnacle of contemporary Marxism-Leninism."

"中共如今發動狂風驟雨的香港革命，肆意揮舞無產階級專政的鐵拳，看似正把中共的傳統鬥爭手法搬到香港，但本質上與過往的內戰、權鬥都有所不同，是與普世價值的鬥爭、與文明社會的鬥爭，勢必成為中共革命史的新篇章。當中共黨旗在香港禮賓府（屆時不知要改名紅旗府還是紫荊府）飄揚時，中共就可以宣佈黨領導下的香港革命理論是習近平思想的重要組成部份，是當代馬列主義的頂峯。"

Interview with A Founder: Alvin Kwock (Co-founder of OneDegree )

By Sophie Chiu (AppWorks Associate)

Alvin Kwock is the Co-founder of OneDegree, an alumnus from AppWorks Accelerator #16. Founded in 2016, OneDegree is a technology startup aiming to become the next-generation insurance industry leader in Asia. The company hit a major milestone in April this year when it received a virtual insurance license, making it one of the first batch of firms authorized to sell insurance through online-only channels in Hong Kong. Since then, OneDegree has launched the city’s first pure medical insurance for pets, which will be followed by cyber and health insurance products and more.

【Having such a fruitful year, can you recall the most challenging / rewarding moment that you have come across during your start-up journey?】

Our earliest days, fundraising and try to win trust from potential investors, were definitely the most challenging. In order to operate legally, we had to apply for an insurance license, which required at least US$30 million of paid-in capital. We met with many investors and there were some who turned us down immediately, telling us there was no way we can raise that amount at a pre-revenue stage. However, we were tenacious and just kept pitching. One investor in particular said no to us 3 times, but we eventually won their support on the 4th attempt. Our technology is our moat, and we worked hard to demonstrate to investors and partners the revolutionary nature of what OneDegree can offer. A big insurance firm, which approached us about a partnership, told us that they could spend US$100 million and still not be able to replicate the powerful insurance core platform OneDegree has built. Getting to where we are today was not easy, hurdle after hurdle, but an incessant belief in our mission helped us get through all the challenges.

【As a founder, what would be some advice for newcomers starting their business?】

Creative thinking is often emphasized as the most important skill or attribute for entrepreneurs. However, in my own experience, building trust is even more important. Trust is an effective tool to facilitate transfer of your creativity to the people who work with you. Over half of our employees are shareholders of OneDegree, which contributes to an environment of trust and collaboration. I believe that a team can only be successful if it plays together. To build trust with clients, we have to show them that we have the ability to deliver and to consistently provide them with something of value. We demonstrated this through our debut insurance product. For example, we pledged to pay out claims within 2 days – much faster than traditional insurers – and we’ve managed to deliver on that.

【Eventually, what impact do you want to have?】

OneDegree’s goal is to become the gold standard in the insurance industry. We aspire not only to serve customers of our insurance business, but also to maximize the impact through partnerships with like-minded insurers, banks and eCommerce channels globally. We want to make the insurance experience entirely seamless for our customers, and we will be relentless about this. Settling claims within 2 days may sound fast today, but it is not too hard to imagine that in a few years’ time the process may only take minutes, or even seconds, to complete. We strive to be at the forefront of change, helping insurance companies become more efficient and making it easier for all end users to get the protection they need, with a simple click or tap on their devices. This is the impact I want to have.

What is GT-R?

GT-R is a vehicle developed with a main objective of use by the circuit the skyline that continues from the C10 Hacosca type (Macartun). It is a car like the assumption of the win in the race though it is a passenger car base, a mission installing equipment and an engine different from other grades of the skyline, and the influences on other domestic production sports cars, etc.Therefore, there are a lot of madly devoted fans, and the engineer also has a special sticking to. The name of GT-R for that is assumed, and there is a model not permitted either, and it assumes the existence of GT-R to be the one of more special crown. ｢There are three famous alphabets worldwide. It is G, T, and R. I will promise here. GT-R revives without fail. ｣Carlos Ghosn COO (at that time) made remarks on "GT-R concept" ahead by opening about presentation at the press conference on the Tokyo Motor Show in 2001. I can ask this car for the posture of Nissan that offers it because it entrusted such a content to Gorn where only a thorough rationalization strategy is often taken up. This promise is sold, and the mass production type is announced by the 40th Tokyo Motor Show on October 24, 2007 and Carlos Ghosn will be sold accomplishment Nissan and GT-R on December 6, 2007. Especially, it is known, and not only the country but also the world is 13 in the reputation of R from active distinguished services very much in an overseas race that has infiltrated by calling Godzilla (Godzilla) as for the name though it is from R32 type. Therefore, GT-R of R32, R33, and R34 is introduced to foreign countries though the skyline is almost a car only for the domestic sale by exporter's hand. As for the reputation, R33GT-R was sold to the model end very high as regular export in Britain though 100 V-spec was a limitation to R34GT-R similarly in addition by 100 limitation.

There is a user who says that there are value (scarcity) more than Ferrari and status, too and the satisfaction rating to a practical side is very high though only the high income group was able to buy 10.8 million yen when converting it into Japanese yen in Britain because of the tariff by the thing that does (The price of a new car of V-specII of a domestic specification is 5 million 748 thousand yen) , saying that "The family is taken though it is efficient as the sports running can be done".
