ich denke eher das Lazada oder AMAZON mit ihrer Art von Plattform anders operieren, andere Gewinne erzielen und auch ganz anders wahr genommen werden im wachsenden Ecommerce Markt Südost Asien als die Carousell App.

Rakuten Invests In Singapore Home Share For Business Travelers
By PYMNTS
Posted on April 11, 2017


There’s little doubt that the home share sector is beginning to boom globally among business travelers, with millennials adopting the practice at a greater rate than their older counterparts (as millennials are wont to do).

For their part, Rakuten recently made a major investment in a Singapore startup as a means to break into the growing business travel side of home share.
The Japanese internet company just pitched in SG$4 million ($2.8 million) to Singapore-based home share startup MetroResidences, a service that matches corporate employees looking to rent properties for a month or more in Singapore with owners seeking short-term tenants. The funding goes toward MetroResidences’ Series A round.

Eine neue Plattform soll es auch Nicht-Programmierern möglich machen, eigene Bots zu produzieren

Chatbots gibt es mittlerweile wie Sand am Meer. Nicht nur Facebook und Slack nutzen sie für Messenger-Dienste, SMS oder E-Mails. Mit der Plattform Dexter kann jetzt jeder seinen eigenen Chatbot erstellen.

Für den Anfang reicht es, einzugeben, worauf der Bot reagieren soll. Als Antwort stehen ihm dafür Text, Gifs oder Videos zur Verfügung. Soll es etwas komplizierter werden, ist natürlich ein höherer Zeitaufwand notwendig, aber laut t3n ist der Einstieg schnell gemacht und so unkompliziert wie die Texteingabe bei WordPress.

bei Bloombertg auf der Basis der Kurse von heute auf  einem sehr niedriger Stand, was ich allerdings als Kaufgelegenheit werte.

Wenn auch unter erheblichen Schwankungen.  

Investors in this new round of funding include KKR, Warburg Pincus, Farallon Capital, Capital Group Private Markets, existing shareholders and other international investors. Go-Jek also revealed for the first time that Rakuten Ventures was among their earlier investors.

The move is believed to enable the Jakarta-based startup to strengthen its position in its home country in competing with industry rivals. It also took on Uber and Grab head-on with the launch of Go-Car in April.
