Spent 3 months building a social app that wants you to STOP using it:
Hang out with your friends → flip your phones down → get a memory candy 🍬

KabamのHolly、TwitchのKevin、CrunchyrollのKunが日本に来てくれました！Hollyはゲーム会社のKabamを約$800Mで売却し、その後Y CombinatorのVisiting Partnerを務め、現在は米国でゲームやエンタメの会社の経営者を集めたコミュニティを作っています。KevinはTwitchをAmazonに$970Mで売却し、現在はゲームやエンタメの会社に投資をするLifelike Capitalを立ち上げて投資をしています。KunはCrunchyrollをAT&Tに売却、その後Sonyが$1.17Bで買収、現在はGGWPやGGWPというゲーム関連の新しい会社に取り組んでいます。

エンタメ業界で���リオンダラー級のエグジットを経験してる御三方ですが、今後も日本のとの関わりを深めたく、頻繁に日本にも来たいとのことでした！海外のファウンダーが日本のスタートアップコミュニティにどんどん繋がれたら嬉しいです！

KevinのLifelike Capitalは、台湾のスタートアップスタジオの886 Studiosと、「ikigai」という名前のアクセラレーターを開始したとのこと。$100kの投資や、メンタリング、ネットワークへのアクセスなどが提供される10週間のプログラムらしく、自分がアーリーステージのファウンダーだったら参加したかったくらい素敵な内容です！日本のスタートアップの参加も大歓迎とのことなので、興味のある方は是非アプライしてみてください！

我在很年輕(大概16歲)的時候就發現了人生快樂的真理：
1. 大部分的人其實並不真的在乎你，所以不用一直在意別人怎麼看自己。
2. 過度執著於控制權不在自己的事物上只是自苦。
3. 勉強吃掉吃不下的東西不是珍惜，因此學習自知之明才是智慧。
4. 要培養興趣。
