Taiwan has the lowest number of COVID-19 cases in Asia so much so that entrepreneurs from around the world have been moving to Taiwan in droves that they actually have a Chinese name for “COVID Refugee.”

This is amazing to hear and why I wanted to feature the Taiwan ecosystem early on in this new podcast series because this is an amazing opportunity for startups as my guests and I will discuss.

Some people refer to Taiwan as the "Asian Wakanda" - that magical place in the Marvel Universe where the Black Panther hails from - and it's not too far off point a comparison.

This is a quick snapshot of what Taiwan's startup ecosystem feels like right now on this episode of RISE Offstage with my guests Elisa Chiu from Anchor Taiwan and Ping Wang from Techstars Taiwan.
