Patrick Taylor has lived and worked across Thailand for seven years, during which he has survived two bouts of civil unrest, a border skirmish, floods, riots, two motorcycle accidents, a car crash, and far too many 7/11 hot dogs. He can be found at patdylantaylor.com .
Karsten is a thirty-something pro-gamer turned tech entrepreneur. As management trainee at Lufthansa German Airlines he worked in India, Dubai, Austria and Germany. A profound fear of missing out led him to give up his corporate career and try his beard at entrepreneurship. At the age of twenty-three he negotiated an investment promotion with the Royal Thai Government to leverage a Bangkok-based video games company from zero to a million dollars in revenue within five years. Today he passionately provides advice to and invests in fellow tech entrepreneurs. Making use of his fluency in Thai, he gives talks at events and universities, checks nutrition labels for carbohydrates and gets into trouble with Tuktuk touts.
