Asia Tech Podcast - EP 131 - Lorenzo Peracchione - COO at BukuKas - Itching to Go Back to the Startup Craziness

The Asia Tech Podcast was joined by Lorenzo Peracchione, a co-Founder and COO at Bukukas, a financial bookkeeping application and potentially so much more for Indonesia's MSMEs and Warungs.  You may notice in the recording the moment in which Lorenzo and I realize we had met each other in person, years earlier, in Singapore.

Some of the things that Lorenzo and I covered in our conversation:

• Most of Lorenzo's professional life has been in Southeast Asia
• The early days of building Lazada in Indonesia
• Moving to Thailand to launch Luxola until it was acquired by Sephora
• The founding of BukuKas and Lorenzo's friendship and professional relationship with his co-Founder Krishnan Menon
• What makes a great founding team
• The massive gap of available digital services for 60 million MSMEs and Warungs in Indonesia tailored to their needs
• The power of the entrepreneurial culture in Indonesia
• The simplicity of use and understanding for BukuKas' first product
• Tokko and the integration of Social and Conversational Commerce
• The importance of data and data analysis
• The mantra that states, "If BukuKas can help make the merchants successful, then BukuKas can be successful."
