TechCrunch Asian Sampler Platter: Meet Me in Singapore or Indonesia

It's been nice sleeping in my own bed, reconnecting with the good, ol' eco-chamber and actually getting to see my husband for the last six weeks, but I've been in one place too long. I am hitting the road again, hunting for good startups and entrepreneurs. If you're an entrepreneur thinking of pitching me, you should know I tend to get excited about four things: Wacky almost futuristic science projects that actually work, companies that are trying to address huge domestic or regional needs in innovative ways that the West wouldn't have thought of; the role that culture, history, education and even the government and social structures play in giving rise to this new culture of high-growth entrepreneurship around the emerging world; and really, really awesome local food. Friday night I leave for Singapore and, as I learned on Twitter today, will be headlining this event. Come say hi. In Indonesia I'll be speaking at this event. I'll be in each place a week and will cram as many startups in as I can.
