Hello World!
Over the past weeks you’ve heard from each member of the Deep Tech pod and now I’m excited to say it’s my turn again 👋. If you haven’t yet joined our Deep Thoughts gang, now hundreds strong, could there be a better time to sign up here?
In this issue, I wanted to share stories of two pioneers in our portfolio who have overcome challenges, changes and crises on their road to building valuable businesses. Stories of resilient leaders like Amir Nejadmalayeri, CEO of Phoelex and Aileen Ryan, COO of UltraSoc should remind us that challenge can be the catalyst for change. After all, Cisco emerged from the Black Monday of 1987; Google and PayPal from the Dot com bubble of 2002 and AirBnb and Stripe from the ashes of the Global Financial Crisis of 2008. |
