Surprised DJI hasn’t collaborated with modern designers and released drones in different colorways. Would take cultural significance to a different level.

Can’t wait for 出海 businesses in UK to start using Drill in their marketing videos for maximum localization.

Is there a Chinese version of appannie that’s lower cost?

Excited for Nothing’s trajectory to build phones in a much more creative direction that incorporates their community into the design decisions. Carl and his team are unbelievably talented. He has been a great friend and mentor to me!

Prediction markets + Monte Carlo simulations. A better election night predictor?

Many prominent China VCs who invest in 出海 businesses don’t realize how bad their reputation is going to be, once global investors see all the founder-unfriendly BS they put into their term sheets.

If you’re a founder with global ambitions, don’t be afraid to point this out when raising your round.
