Well, I decided to create OhMyGeorge after I <strong>got fed up of not being able to find a sustainable trading strategy<\/strong> despite my repetitive attempts. The interface of the trading platforms were sort of responsible for it. At the same time I was amazed by the <strong>level of emotions trading<\/strong> could provide, and being a <strong>gamer at heart<\/strong>, I saw the potential for the <strong>gamification of that environment<\/strong>. And that\u2019s the <strong>DNA of the brand<\/strong>, \u201cOh My George!\u201d translates the <strong>emotion you have when you \u201cplay\u201d with your money<\/strong>, even if it\u2019s just $1 (Ed. the face that appears on the 1-dollar note is George Washington\u2019s).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">[\/tab]<br \/>\n[tab]<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #339966;\"><strong>TECHFOLIANCE<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">So your strategy compared to most actors on the market (such as <strong>Robinhood<\/strong>) is to <strong>approach\u00a0trading as a game<\/strong>, right ?

With our <strong>little casual game<\/strong>, we want to <strong>bring that generation to the financial markets<\/strong> and take it from <strong>day trading<\/strong> (the most appealing way to be involved in the market for a beginner) to <strong>investing<\/strong> (yes, it\u2019s a long way) and even <strong>planning for their retirement<\/strong>. Ultimately, we want to <strong>create a mass market household brand<\/strong> in the financial services sector that people actually trust and love, and we think a <strong>gaming brand<\/strong> is the right angle to achieve that.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">[\/tab]<br \/>\n[tab]<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #339966;\"><strong>TECHFOLIANCE<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Your team is a fantastic\u00a0example of the\u00a0<strong>new generation of startupers\u00a0<\/strong>: you have &#8216;no home&#8217;\u00a0because you <strong>want to work from everywhere<\/strong> (sometimes in Bangkok, sometimes in Singapore or in Paris) and your team comes from everywhere because you know that in 2016 you can <strong>work with\u00a0talented people from around the world<\/strong>.

Asia is currently seeing a <strong>massive availability of early stage venture capital<\/strong>. I remember a Singaporean VC explaining that they have so much money they can\u2019t find enough good startups to invest in. Interestingly, it doesn\u2019t matter much if you are based in Tokyo, Beijing, Taipei, Bangkok, Singapore, or Jakarta. In Asia, VCs are <strong>regularly touring the region<\/strong>, so you can catch them anywhere. At the same time, <strong>the lower cost of living<\/strong>, especially in Thailand, enables founders to <strong>bootstrap significantly longer<\/strong> than if they were building their company in the US or Europe. So we are really winning on both aspects.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">OhMyGeorge being at the crossroad of<strong> FinTech and Mobile Gaming<\/strong>, we also chose Asia as a base and \u201cdomestic\u201d market because <strong>mobile gaming is strong in that region<\/strong>: there are about <strong>750 million mobile gamers in APAC<\/strong>, who spend almost as much money on mobile games (more than $4 per month per paying user) as Europeans do, despite a lower purchasing power.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">[\/tab]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">[tab]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #339966;\"><strong>TECHFOLIANCE<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">You said you wanna create a strong enough corporate culture to make\u00a0people feel confortable with finance :\u00a0<em>How do you think you will change people&#8217;s lives with OMG ?<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #339966;\">LUCIEN<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Our goal is to <strong>bring to the financial markets the Y generation<\/strong>, a generation that grew up during the 2008 crisis, and which as a result both <strong>distrusts these markets and lacks financial knowledge<\/strong>.
