Nice rundown - you've clearly done the foreign-startup runabout, and "lack of big exits locally" is also my thesis for why startups & their valuations aren't so positive. The fact is that Asian investors haven't seen big paydays from new ventures, so they're all demanding traction or recurring revenue instead of risking funds on unproven businesses. I've also been struggling with this. We startup HN people in Singapore should have a beer sometime, would be great to trade stories/news. Send me an email (check my profile) if you/anyone is interested.
