Fireside Chat with Blake Larson, Former Global Managing Director of Lalamove
From Seed to Unicorn: Strategic Decisions for Market Expansion
Join us in Jakarta for an engaging fireside chat with Blake Larson, the former Global Managing Director of Lalamove, and Tiger Fang, founder & CEO of Kargo Technologies.
Blake joined Lalamove founder Shing during Seed stage (2014). Blake played a crucial role in expanding Lalamove into 15+ markets, helping the company achieve unicorn status in 2018 just four years after its inception. In Blake’s own words, this is a journey with important decisions in market selection, robust internal processes, and financial discipline.
As former country GM at Uber, Tiger played a key role in launching Uber across multiple Asian markets. In 2019, he embarked on his own journey and built Kargo Technologies into Indonesia’s leading trucking platform.
Scaling beyond borders is the secret to success for most APAC startups. We are excited to invite all founders to join us on Thursday, September 12th, at 1:30 PM for a first-hand fireside chat with such battle-tested entrepreneurs.
