What started as an experiment in a Harvard dorm and became one of Sequoia India’s 1st partnerships in SEA has grown into a 🚀company powered by a maniacal focus on #customer centricity. Congrats Chih-Han, Joe, Winnie & everyone on today’s #IPO!

We are deeply grateful to Sequoia’s LPs, who have committed $1.35B to two new Sequoia India venture and growth funds. The region’s #startup ecosystem is at a fork in the road. We believe there is an opportunity to make different choices for the future.

After years of reflection, my four (software) startup engineering killers are:
1. Premature scaling
2. Too much shiny/new tech
3. Bad hiring (great engineer, but not great startup eng)
4. Eng/business mismatch
What are yours?

It’s no coincidence that this humble & amazing founder is at the helm of such a wonderful company, @zoom_us
In fact, his humility has been a key driver of their success

I stopped @ericsyuan on the street last night after watching his talk during @saastr
It was night and he was on his way somewhere but he took the time to talk to me. This is the founder and CEO of a decacorn @zoom_us
What a humble and amazing guy!

The best founders evolve with their startups in many of the following ways:
Ambition evolves to purpose
Intelligence evolves to wisdom
Capability evolves to effectiveness
Control evolves to delegation
Insecurity evolves to trust
Entitlement evolves to gratitude

“We are not the best team by all metrics. 30% possession. 80% pass accuracy (vs 95% standard). But we are the most disciplined, the best organised. This gave us the best defence” - 🇮🇸coach @Sequoia_India
Lesson: Identify your core and keep compounding it. Don’t worry about rest
