AppWorks was started by Jamie in 2010 to give Taiwan a push as it upgrades itself into a 21st-century digital economy and to connect Taiwan with ASEAN to form a collaborative Greater Southeast Asia ecosystem.

Today, AppWorks is the region’s leading startup accelerator and early-stage VC. AppWorks Accelerator, the renowned 6-month free accelerator program, now admits 30 startups per batch from across the region and boasts 328 active startups and 925 founders in our alumni network. Well known startups such as EZTABLE, Lalamove, 91APP, KKday, Morning Shop (早餐吃麥片), AsiaYo and ShopBack are all members of this community.

All AppWorks startups together generate US$ 2.5 billion in annual revenues, provide 9,586 jobs and are valued at US$ 3.6 billion. As a VC, AppWorks has US$ 150M under management. It funds 10 deals a year, owns 40 companies in its portfolio and has so far produced 2 unicorns, 4 centaurs (US$ 100M+) and 2 IPOs — NetPublishing and KuoBrothers.
