“After what we’ve gone through in the last 18 months, I have the perspective that change is the only constant…If Tech in Asia can be a 100-year-old company, I’d be super proud.”
“In the six-and-a-half years we’ve run Mumbrella Asia, we’ve never had a profitable year. Traffic has grown and revenues have grown, but we’ve never come close to breaking even.”
It recently passed 10 million unique visitors per month, and it’s profitable: “We’re not going to hire 50 reporters and a whole video crew and pump in all these resources and not have the revenue to support it.”
Wealth from Asia isn’t being channeled into media development on anything like the scale seen in the U.S. and Europe: “It’s not just about the money. It’s about priorities.”
