Techsauce's Message

The competition of "On-demand Service Marketplace" in Thailand has been on fire with both local providers and international providers keep coming on stage since the end of 2015. Mapping between demand and supply sounds beautiful but the challenges that the type of service faces include low switching cost and margin.

Tapsey had engaged with Techsauce's community since its beginning from Start it Up Conference 2015 to Techsauce Summit 2016. We are sorry to see this news about Tapsey.
