    SOUTH-east Asia is the startup ecosystem to watch, says the chief executive of global investment firm Catcha Group.

    Patrick Grove, noting that the region is home to 280 million mobile users and an emerging middle class, said that Internet companies created in the region have the potential to be "bigger" than those which came up in the United States and focus on the American market.
