I could also operate a company myself, but I kind of feel like I run my company already.

And also I saw the potential by leveraging the VC platform.

I will be able to support a more awesome founder with the capital, with the resources and connection.

For VC money, it's never only be just capital.

It also benefits.

like include all the like support we could give to the early stage founder to make them really grow faster.

It's a catalyst.

It's a catalyst for their company grow.

And to me, personal goal is I actually want myself to become a T-shaped person, letter T. So I have the depth.

So when I was doing my research and also running my own company, now I want to actually explore on a wider scope, like to see innovation happening in different industry.

I could run a macro device company.

I could run a certain type of industry IoT company, but not necessarily I could run any company.

I believe there's tons of super talented founders out there, and I could just empower them to help them build their awesome company.

For sure.

When I first started, as you mentioned, it has to leverage the previous connection to get into the hot deals.

Silicon Valley is all about competition for the business.

the top deal and top funders.

And meanwhile, by leveraging the network that's one side on the long term, I also start to build up our own, like, deal flow network internally, which including that we have the network across all the technology innovation center in United States.

Because we invest in technology innovation, so once you really find the best technology and best technical founder,

when they came out and we start to interact with them.
