Justin, congratulation on the company sale!

If you have a minute, I'd love for you to read this:

I know you can create more amazing companies in the valley, everyone knows that. But what I'd love to suggest is for you to take these next few months to check out what else is out there in the world.

The market opportunity won't be as big, but your experience and unbelievable drive for success (that's what I remember the most about you) can potentially make a much bigger impact in the world outside of Silicon Valley.

Here is my open invitation for you to visit Philippines, or anywhere else in 29 countries I've traveled to this past year. I promise we can mobilize the World Startup Report ambassadors network in every continent to make your trip a successful one. These folks will gladly host and take care of you, anytime, anywhere.

Please give this some thoughts... the world could use another superhero.

Thanks! I am interested in the startups in the rest of the world, especially in SE Asia. I just got back from a trip to Thailand and Singapore, where I talked to several startup investors, accelerators, and founders to try to figure out where market opportunities might be. I didn't get to the Phillipines on this trip, but hopefully will in the near future (planning Indonesia at the very least this year).

Glad to hear that Justin!

SE Asia is a very interesting market, people are solving a completely different set of problems that what we're used to in the first world countries.

We have a very strong network here in SE Asia. Don't hesitate to reach out to me on your next trip back. I'd be happy to show you what I've learned.

Congrats again!

Myanmar is going to be amazing if the elections in 2015 go well. I visited in November 2013 and would love to figure something out there.
