Formerly a partner at @500startups, and currently a Partner & Board Member at GAMEGROOVE Capital, Marvin Liao always has something brilliant to share around entrepreneurship, venture capital and life in general. ⁠
⁠
We recently saw this from his newsletter, "The Hard Fork by Marvin Liao" and resonated quite a lot:⁠
⁠
"What attracted me to the pre-seed and seed stage is that you are basically in the human potential business."⁠
⁠
So true. To a world where everyone's potential gets to be fully utilized! Check out his newsletter if you are interesting in other insights from this tech veteran.⁠

Formerly Head of Product at Blue Apron (NYSE: APRN) and originally from Taiwan, Melody will share her view around:⁠
⁠
🎯 An investor with a PM lens:⁠
What was it like as the 1st product hire then Head of Product through the IPO at Blue Apron within 3.5 years?⁠
⁠
🎯 NextView Ventures:⁠
What can we learn from the thesis around “everyday economy” and ownership-focused portfolio construction?⁠
⁠
🎯 Taiwan vs. rest of the world⁠
Do founders in Taiwan have the tendency of focusing too much on “projects” and not enough on “products”?⁠

【 Solidarity | #萬華加油 #台灣加油】

Record 180 domestic transmissions; an unsettling weekend for Taiwan. 😷
.
As we watch the COVID news unfold in the #Wanhua District, we couldn’t help but recall our warm memories from the people, culture, and hospitality there. Wanhua is a neighborhood that we almost always visited during our cohorts pre-COVID. A cradle of Taipei’s history, it has evolved from the original city center to the periphery, carrying its complexities, stories, and a combination of loneliness and togetherness. 🙌
.
This is the time for us to exercise our collective wisdom. Stay safe, stay calm, and stay home. We can always use more empathy and solidarity, less stereotyping and finger-pointing. Sending positive thoughts to you. Let’s do this. ❤️
.
*Photos from pre-COVID cohorts. All our events before June 8th have been postponed or moved online. Stay tuned!
