What #entrylevel jobs are still relevant for #graduates today? My prediction is that new disciplines will emerge that incorporate both STEM and non-STEM curriculum. #ArtificialIntelligence will own overly specialised jobs.

Happy to lead this round of funding in Greenitio. We believe that technologies that allow industries to transition from petroleum-based materials will provide long term value to early investors.

Valuation is not validation. Focus on building the business and not just chase a higher valuation. Work with investors who are aligned with this strategy. #howtobuildacompany #advicetovc

Looking at the stock markets, I am just wondering if #trumptariffs might not be the biggest case of market manipulation in the world! Buy, Baby, Buy?

[Hsien-Hui Tong @hhtong]

This is a sensible approach because unless you are producing similar goods locally or have resilient supply chains, imposing a retaliatory tariff is just imposing a price increase on your own economy.

Keeping fingers crossed that our portfolio company, Horizon Quantum, goes the distance and gets listed!
