Cooby, a Taipei-based startup founded in late 2020, created a CRM application that combines data from LINE and Gmail into WhatsApp. Taiwanese people were less familiar with WhatsApp than they were with LINE, but it has more potential and could bring in more money. The Cooby team chose to focus on WhatsApp in order to achieve the larger objective. The benefits that follow are not only substantial—there are 2 billion active users each month—but they also draw the interest of global venture capital. Cooby has received orders from customers in a number of nations over its three years of operation, suggesting that there is a market for Cooby anywhere there is a high percentage of WhatsApp usage.
We are honoured to have Jocelyn Ho, Co-founder and CTO of Cooby, join us on this episode to discuss how she leads Cooby into the global market and faces intense competition by having the courage to accept change. She also talks about how Cooby has been able to effectively acquire orders from clients in several nations in its three plus years of operation.
