Interview with a Founder: Beryl Liu (Co-founder of Matters Lab)

By Norman Chi, Analyst

Beryl Liu is the co-founder and COO of Matters Lab and was previously the Operations Director of Initium Media. An experienced startup operator, Beryl once led the global operations of Aivvy, a music-tech startup which won the innovation award at CES. She was involved in running a Hong Kong-based NGO in Greater China.

1. What early experience shaped who you are?

I am always passionate about the media because it can bring social value to the public, it’s THE thing I value most and deeply rooted in my heart. But I will say other than my passion, the sum of my experiences also is a big part of who I am now.

After graduating from college, I chose to become an editor in Hong Kong's first all-electronic media as my first job. Before starting Matters, I’ve joined several different groups and startups, including one NGO, one silicon valley startup and Initium Media which allows me to step out of my comfort zone, broaden my horizons, know more about new disruptive technologies like blockchain and learn how startups work. All these unique experiences and passion for media shaped who I am now.

2. Who is your role model as a founder?

I will say there are two types of role models I look up to. One is successful and inspiring entrepreneurs, the other is someone who you are close to and can resonate with.

For the first type of role model, there are too many entrepreneurs I look up to. Among these successful stories, one key thing I will particularly be inspired by is how these entrepreneurs find a breakthrough and identify the right path to stand out. Like Stewart Butterfield’s founding journey of Flickr, even though the original online game idea wasn't working, he had the crazy vision and quickly learned and found out the true needs of users: real-time interaction around photos, and then based on the findings, he launched Flickr and turned it into a success. This type of founders are the role models I would especially look up to and want to share the same vision as they do.

But these great entrepreneurs are too far from our life and work, you can’t fully resonate with these entrepreneurs. So my mom became one of the role models I look up to since I can relate to her story more easily even though she’s not a founder. For the past 10 years, she had a relatively weak physical condition and underwent several severe surgeries which often left patients in pain and despair. But she kept fighting and fighting with a positive attitude, dealing with the pain and pressure, and always looked on the bright side, which really inspired me at my darkest moments, this is the kind of story you can always keep in mind and gather momentum from.

3. What is the biggest mistake and takeaway in your founder journey so far?

The entire entrepreneurship is the endless journey of trial and error until you find PMF (Product Market Fit), so before that, don’t rush to do premature scaling with limited resources. We tried to do too many things in 2018 because back at that time we thought we were ready to scale up, but actually we weren't, and we didn’t allocate the resources properly, leading to a bunch of conflicts both internally and externally. It was a costly lesson we learned after these series of poor decisions we made.

As a result, if you figure out you’ve made a bad decision, founders must learn how to set a stop-loss. Admitting and giving up on one decision you made is difficult, but when you admit something is wrong, it helps you to redirect to the right direction and potentially lower future costs. What’s more, it’s the failure that allows you to rethink and reflect on your goals.

Scam 101

This year, 2020, it has been a tough and challenging year for all of us because of Covid19 crisis. Each of us is impacted in some ways. We need to understand that we all face the same storm, but we all are not on the same boat.

Some might have a better advantage than the others and some may struggle to survive. Covid19 has led to a dramatic loss of human lives, health, food systems and the world of work worldwide. The economic and social disruption is worrying.

This difficult times has shown us how fragile life is and one of the main things in life that we need to survive, unfortunately, is having money. All of us need money to provide the necessities to live.

During these rough times, many unethical parties are also waiting to take advantage of unsuspecting individuals who also need money. This parties we called scammers. They capitalise on people's hardship and fears to manipulate other vulnerable people.

Be aware that scammers are also sophisticated with their tactics and have many types of schemes and businesses that they disguised to look legitimate and interesting, but their motive is to swindle your hard-earned money and take advantage of your situation. Once they get what they want, they will vanish.

This is crucial, I urge my family, friends and followers to be more vigilant when making business and investments decisions to not fall into their lies and fake promises.

How to detect this unscrupulous parties
❗Always do your research first hand (information is everywhere, check thoroughly) and don't quickly jump into the bandwagon even if everyone around you is doing it
❗Investment with guaranteed profit (this is a red flag - no such thing as guaranteed, if yes, this is a very dangerous business and potentially a fake one)
❗Too good to be true business model and promises (be realistic)
❗Business or investment that lures you to join and give you 'offer of a lifetime or limited time'
❗Huge returns or profits (even better than the financial institutions? - doesn't make sense)
❗Pyramid schemes, based on enrolments/recruit people - people are the product (if they are pushing this agenda, you know you are the product = scam)
❗MLM business that is a cover-up illegal pyramid scheme (they said they are MLM and legal) - please check this difference in their business model
❗Brands that source for brand ambassadors and said everything is free, but have to pay for the shipping fee (which cost a lot) at the end and sometime unreasonable commission schemes (this is becoming more
and more, beware influencers)
❗Macau Scam - impersonate authorities/trusted officials to get a large sum of money (please check this carefully when you get any phone calls)
❗Love Scam - contact you with fake profiles (too good to be true profile), praise, engaged and try to strike a relationship with you, before they commit fraud in the end)
❗Many more - debt collection, settlement, relief, mortgage, imposter, oil scam, apps scam, religious and charity scam, social media and online business scam, grandparents scam, lottery or prize scams, wire or money transfer fraud and more - stay vigilant

Ways to avoid being scammed
✅Always deal with individuals, entities that are registered, licensed or trustworthy (depends on the type of business, check with the relevant authorities/parties) - do your background check
✅Ask questions and request for important information. They shouldn't be easily triggered and emotional
✅Check with relevant authorities before investing or depositing any monies even it is a small amount
✅Don't be pressured or rushed by anyone. Find time to do your research when you want to get yourself into something
✅Be sceptical if there's no proper documentation in writing and if you are not certain with the legality
✅Beware of investments and making money opportunity over the internet. This is their playground
✅Secure your personal information. Don't leak them to untrusted parties
✅Keep copies of all documents or writings when you agree with any parties

I have seen so many individuals and groups of people around me that have been scammed and in businesses that are scamming people.

Let us all exercise extreme caution when being offered something lucrative and being promised heavens on earth. If someone is promising you quick and so much money (rich), no risk, and everything seems perfect/too good to be true, please be careful. Just remember, the faster and easy you get something better, the faster and easy you get something worse.

Report and file a complaint to relevant authorities if you know any scammers or has been a victim of scams.

Protect yourself from being a victim of a scam. It's better to have little or enough money but it belongs to us than having a lot of money that isn't ours, taking from unfortunate people and scamming people for a living. Remember this.

Happy International Poverty Eradication Day

International Poverty Eradication Day is celebrated on October 17 every year to spread the message of peace and love while honouring the victims of poverty, hunger, violence and fear.

As someone who has worked with refugees and homeless people , this day is very close to my heart. From Happy Bank Crew to Human Aid Selangor; what I saw there have changed my life. I remember waking up at 4 am with my team to cook for the homeless people. Soon as we arrived to the community however, it broke my heart to see children in hunger, having nothing else to eat while waiting for my team and I to deliver some food to them.

Of course, the important thing is not actually being there in person, but the ability to empathise. We need to take action together. I am so grateful to receive donation from generous group of people to help my charity work. A lot of individuals have contacted me personally, asking what they can do to help Happy Bank Crew and Human Aid Selangor.

There are different types of donation; some people contributed their help financially while some, contributed by being volunteers to help out in person. Those who can't be there have also help us by contributing tremendous support and love for all the work that we did.

As we celebrate this year’s International Day for the Eradication of Poverty, may our calls for social justice for those living in extreme poverty be amplified.
