Turochas "T" Fuad on The "Exit" Stories: Speed and Execution is Everything

A journey from working in giant tech companies to creating one himself

This article is a part of DailySocial’s Mastermind Series, featuring innovators and leaders in Indonesia’s tech industry sharing their stories and point of view.

"Starting a new venture never seems to get old for me. The rush, the pain, the anxiety, the joy, all mix together. It is never the same yet, it is also so familiar." Turochas "T" Fuad wrote in the opening paragraph about his latest venture, Pace.

It's a compact yet thorough explanation about the life of a serial entrepreneur, at least for Turochas Fuad, or sometimes called T. Was born in Indonesia and had a chance to study English in Singapore, he decided to pursue his Management Information System degree all the way to the US at The University of Texas, Austin. That is quite the beginning of his big passion for technology.

From the story of the founding of his first venture which finally acquired by an American-based tech giant, Yahoo!; next to the founding of the iconic travelmob, which then acquired by Homeaway in 2013 for $11.5 million; then the story of Coworking-space giant WeWork acquired Spacemob to ramp up its expansion and growth in Southeast Asia.
