1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,080
Where did this vision of helping entrepreneurs or startups come from?

2
00:00:07,680 --> 00:00:14,960
You know, I have had the experience of starting a couple businesses of my own.

3
00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:24,480
And, you know, while I've been a founder, I've also subsequently been a leader in a venture studio.

4
00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:32,880
I have been at one of the leading venture capital firms investing around the world.

5
00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:39,600
And I've seen this in different cultures, industries, places over many years.

6
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:46,960
That whether you're looking at people incubating a business in an accelerator

7
00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:54,480
or in your portfolio of which we are in my previous firm, we had made 1,200 investments.

8
00:00:55,680 --> 00:01:02,400
You know, this is really important and helping to coach and help people

9
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:13,040
is an unlock for value, not just as an investor, but, you know, as a stakeholder in those organizations.

10
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:21,520
And so I want to help people find that rhythm and that holistic sort of success,

11
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:33,520
regardless of what their business category is, because across stages and across industries,

12
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:43,440
you know, the issues are pretty consistent and often the same.
