To the author: I really respect you for building a startup back home but this article feels more like a rant all over the place though.

It also sounds like you don't really know the market in Indonesia and you're trying to replicate what you know about US/Silicon Valley market back home as-is and didn't achieve the result you were hoping for (I haven't seen anyone done that and be successful either).

I know an owner/co-founder of a startup in Indonesia and they have diverse channels.

Having said that, I wish you more success down the line.
