@Seneziz Hey Seneziz, just curious what are the decisions that Klopp should make that go against the board?

I really don’t think VCs should ask about market sizing. Instead which industries will this company disrupt

Every VC has a thesis. And often, ppl will say they like to invest in certain industries.

Like: "I invest in B2B!"

As a founder, I would then pitch such investor who seemed like a match & then hear, "Oh, this is not my area."

I found this to be confusing & here's why >>

So, conventionally, this is about the time I'd start a podcast.

The Japanese stock market peaked in 1989 and still hasn't recovered. They were the world's #2 economy.

I guess we can’t really teach empathy to investors if they have not tried building a business themselves. :/

Southeast Asian VC = Polygot. Chinese, English, Berhasa, Thai, Vietnamese. It’s back to the books I guess.

VC = basketball coach. You can’t play but you sure love to tell people how to.

Investor calls are like dating, you might or might not fall in love but you sure are to meet many different personalities. The arrogant, the simp, the shy, the catfish and the perfect one.
