Had the honor of interviewing Bill Tai @KiteVC about the future of tech and what he looks for in startup founders!

“It’s really the intersection of a big market that’s about to go through a structural change and a certain personality type.”

He quoted an example from @canva where he went to Perth, Australia and met Melanie Perkins @MelanieCanva who was teaching Adobe classes on the side and shared her vision of how she wanted to remake the field of design. In 2010, he saw that software was moving to the cloud and seized this opportunity. In 3 years, he matched her with her CTO, they built and scaled the product, and fast forward…they are now making $200M/month in revenue!

“Give me someone who is solving a problem viscerally in a very big way.”

The second example was @Zoom that Bill named! Riding the wave of cloud and mobile and changing the economics of building a product that is more scalable and lower cost. Now we can’t imagine living without Zoom!

Thank you to my cohost Yasmeen Drummond and to Bill Tai for sharing such valuable insights!

For #LATechWeek, we booked out WINSTON HOUSE!

Last week, I threw a launch party for Dropbox’s new enterprise AI product, Dropbox Dash. We also celebrated the launch of @99_Ventures!

We rented out an entire jazz bar/music venue/restaurant in Venice and invited our favorite friends to join us for an epic night!

From having @estheranayanft DJ and playing violin to our guest DJ Mikul Wing from @AutografMusic making a surprise appearance…we were beyond surprised and it exceeded all of my expectations!

Thanks @99_Ventures for hosting, @Dropbox Dash for sponsoring, Pegasus Distillerie for the welcome drink, and https://t.co/sHrPA9ZRip for organizing!

For #SFTechWeek closing night, I co-hosted a founders and founders happy hour at the SVB experience center and we had wine tasting, curated by a sommelier from Napa!

After back to back #SFTechWeek and #LATechWeek, I am feeling hopeful that we are about to enter a season of tech acceleration and abundance!

I agree with @kaifulee who spoke at the that AI gives us superpowers!

It will liberate us from the mundane and make us more human, give us more time back, and help us to focus on each other.

What is the world you want to see with AI? I want to hear from you!

Thanks to all who came out to support!
