Reading guide
As Appier's Japanese listing drew praise, Robin urged readers not to overlook the significance of another case: 91APP chose to list in Taiwan. He called for appreciation of this opportunity to set an example. A homegrown SaaS company's listing in Taiwan can influence more than its own share price; it can support digital transformation, the startup environment, and investors' understanding of the software industry. Capital markets need success stories to build confidence, and confidence takes time and accumulated examples. This is a short commentary from April 2021. The IPO valuation and events described at the time have not been externally verified and do not constitute investment advice.
Key points

- Capital markets need success stories to build confidence.
- Confidence takes time and accumulated examples; this is an April 2021 commentary.
