Couple months ago, we had the honor to have Carousell 旋轉拍賣 CEO and co-founder Siu Rui Quck to AppWorks to share his founder journey on scaling, international expansion and hiring talents. “Snap, list, sell” Carousell was founded in 2013, and over the 7 years, the Singapore based Carousell had successfully expanded to Malaysia, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Philippines, Indonesia and Australia. Earlier this year, Carousell mergered classifieds platform, OLX Philippines, and just earlier, Carousell announced that it will merging with online marketplaces, 701Search Malaysia, Vietnam and Myanmar. After the merging with 71Search, Carousell will be valued at over US$850 million, which is pretty close to be an Unicorn!!!!

Shopback is from AppWorks Accelerator batch #13, a cash back application with more than 8 million users and 2,000 merchants.
The users make a purchase through Shopback, Shopback earns a commission and shares it with the user via a cash rebate. Merchants only pony up fees if a transaction is made, Shopback takes a cut and use it on marketing.
“Our goal is to help our merchants [and] to ensure that the customers we bring make a purchase,” said Joel Leong, Shopback’s co-founder and head of merchant development
It’s seen as a win win for everybody, merchants, Shopback and users.
“In Southeast Asia, Shopback is ranked the number three publisher in terms of volume and retention, behind Facebook and Google and ahead of Twitter, according to the AppsFlyer Performance Index for 2018.”
Shopback has grown so much over the past 4 years. Shopback has gone from launching in Singapore to expanding in markets in Thailand, Philippines, Taiwan, Indonesia and Australia.
“Ultimately, we want to be Southeast Asia’s pre-shopping destination, where customers will come to before they decide where to shop,” said Leong.

一年一度的聯合國大會今年已邁入72屆,在美東時間9 /12 下午3點已經展開!然而遺憾地,今年我們還是一樣被排除在外。作為地球上的一份子,台灣從來就不曾忘記自己身為世界公民的責任。我們很自豪在今年成為了同性婚姻合法的國家、在各領域都不斷追求更符合人權、公平以及永續的目標、政治上也優化民主法治的制度。我們也積極地參與聯合國2030年的發展目標:SDGs。
然而,過去一年我們很失望,看到與付出努力完全不符的待遇令人長嘆:今年五月世界衛生大會,不顧台灣歷年擔任觀察員出席會議的事實,拒絕台灣與會。我們當然很感謝美國、德國、澳洲、布吉納法索四國在正式會議上為台灣發聲,肯定台灣在衛生與人道救援上面的卓越貢獻。我們試圖向世界各國傳遞這樣的訊息:一而再的不公平對待絕對不會影響我們致力在民主價值、國際公約和人權公平上的責任與行動。
9/16 在紐約的倡議遊行,民進黨將由我和張宏陸委員代表演說,在野黨時代力量徐永明委員也會一起參與,同時我們會全程參加遊行。今年遊行的訴求將聚焦在我們「近年國際參與的努力與成就」,以及「逐步被邊緣化的憂慮」。希望能夠傳達給聯合國的代表,我們參與聯合國會議的殷切期盼。
讓我們一起關注這次的遊行!
Please Join us in the march!

The United Nations General Assembly yesterday (Sep 12, 2017, EST time) has opened its 72nd session, unfortunately, Taiwan still cannot join the event this year. As the member of the global citizen, Taiwan is proud to announce that we have become the first nation in Asia to legalize same-sex marriage, and we have never given up any chance to presume our goal in promoting human rights and sustainable in all the fields. Politically we have improved our democratic system, and we have worked to cope with the SDGs along with United Nations.
However, we were so disappointed during that past year seeing that we have been treated so unfairly regardless what Taiwan has achieved. This May, Taiwan was uninvited to attend World Health Assembly (WHA)—although we have been acted as an observer since 2009. We appreciate the representatives from the United States, Germany, Australia and Burkina Faso for speaking up that Taiwan should not be excluded by the World Health Organization and confirmed our impressive distributions in Health and Humanitarian Aid. We seek to deliver the message to the world: the constant unfair treatment will not affect our hard works in democratic values, international agreements, and human rights.
During the "2017 United Nations Membership for Taiwan/Keep Taiwan Free March" in New York on Sep 16th, Legislator Chang, Hung-Lu and I will join the whole session and give the speech on behalf of Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), also the Legislator Yung-Ming Hsu from NPP will join as well. The march will highlight Taiwan's achievements in international cooperation in recent years and our concern for being marginalized. We want to express our deepest thoughts to UNGA's representatives that it's time for Taiwan to join United Nations.
Please Join us in the march!
