You are, on the one hand, the most complex thing in the entire universe, and on the other, someone who can’t even set the clock on your microwave. Don’t overestimate your self-knowledge.
Today, we say goodbye to a visionary leader, whose passion, excellence, and unwavering commitment transformed Access into a global powerhouse.
His legacy of excellence and compassion will continue to inspire us all.
Rest in peace, Herbert Wigwe.
I see a lot of VCs virtue signalling on Twitter about how India needs to up its tech innovation game. And yet they are the first ones to back out of risky bets.
The simple reason why the Indian startup ecosystem lacks innovation is because no VC is ready to take a bet on ambitious founders.
Instead of first principles thinking, we think of copying or Indianizing what works in the west. We want to follow the trend, co-invest, and second guess our entrepreneurs instead of boldly backing competent founders.
No you can’t build a better LLM with $250k in seed capital.
It’s not that Indian founders don’t know how to innovate. You need capital to build groundbreaking tech. And there’s very few risk taker tech VCs in India.
Hence, Indian founders resort to business application oriented tech startups rather than foundational tech companies.
The smart ones who are serious about something meaningful don’t rely on the Indian investor ecosystem and move to the Bay Area instead.
It’s a wake up call for Indian VCs more than anything to fund ambitious tech companies.
Who will lead the way?
Socialists want you scared, angry, resentful, dependent and obedient.
Capitalists want you prosperous, peaceful, ambitious, responsible and free.
Choose wisely.
Today and always, let us remember that life is a precious gift - a chance to breathe, feel, love, experience and connect.
Let's honor this gift by living with purpose, kindness, and gratitude, making every moment count.
Let us number our days.
