Exciting days are ahead, and here is what you can expect

Dear e27 Community,

You may recognise me as the face of e27‘s presence in Indonesia; the person you reached out to when you want to forward leads about a funding round or when you have questions about our annual Echelon Asia Summit event. You may have also seen me manning the Editor’s Note section of our Daily Digest.

But today I am writing to inform you that I have been appointed to the role of Editor at e27, your beloved online resource platform for Southeast Asian tech startups.

My journey at the company began in 2015. As a Junior Writer, my responsibility was to cover the Indonesian startup ecosystem from Jakarta. Following a promotion to Senior Writer position a year later, I have produced features, covered news, moderated panel discussions, and interacted with readers through various channels for the last three years.

Throughout this journey, I have witnessed firsthand how the Southeast Asian startup ecosystem evolved from being a promising rookie, to producing some of the most powerful giants you may ever heard.

But as changes continue to happen, new challenges also continue to arise.

Stakeholders have begun to call for better ways to understand the ecosystem. They want to be able to recognise trends before it happens, and to have an accountable way to answer the question, “Who’s the next big thing in the market?”

All of this can be achieved through the use of data.

As a company with the mission to empower entrepreneurs with the tools to build and grow their company, e27 recognised the importance of implementing the use of data in the products and services that we offer. More importantly, we also recognise this as an opportunity that we can tap into as a company, considering the wealth of data that we have on our platform.

So what can you expect next?

You will continue to enjoy news and features, the very thing that draw you into this platform. But we are going to take it up a notch by introducing a series of listicles that showcased the strength of the data available on the e27 platform.

Our Contribution Programme, which has given a space for community members and thoughts leaders to voice their opinion and show their expertise, will also continue to grow bigger and better.

Last but not least, the startup ecosystem report is also set to return this quarter –with a new face. So watch this space.

All of this would not be possible without the support that you have given to us. I would definitely love to hear from you! Tell me what your startup has been up to, what you would like to see more in our platform. I am looking forward to see your messages at writers@e27.co and the e27 Telegram Group.

Also, next time we bump into each other at events, do not hesitate to say hello.

Regards,

Anisa Menur Maulani
