and tech savvy players in the market. Our technological knowhow and business experience became extremely applicable and valuable. Our whole potential was unleashed.” Despite the evolution of their business model, Cherrypicks continues to uphold its vision. “We never presented ourselves as a mobile app developer. Rather, the best provider for user experience on mobile applications. Smartphones and applications themselves are just the tools, but it’s the user experience that really matters when it comes to fulfilling the satisfaction of the customers.” Being in charge of 180 people in major cities like Shanghai, Zhu Hai, Jakarta, and Hong Kong, Jason always thinks ahead. Although his company was always recognised as an innovative company, Jason aims to create a world-class product. “There is no reason why a technology company in Hong Kong cannot carry the same brand value as other Chinese

technological giants.” Jason is not only a go-getter, but also a dreamer. His company is structured with various innovative teams aiming to attract expertise, and turn their creative ideas into reality. He wishes to share his experience of creating his “first pot of gold”. He therefore takes multiple roles in CoCoon, as an investor, a judge for pitch nights and an advisor for various startups. “CoCoon is a gem that Hong Kong seems to be missing. You can find facilities, financial grants, and incubation programmes offered by the government in Hong Kong. Yet, CoCoon is a place about people that allows creative and innovative ideas to take place.”
