On finding investment target: “So it's always about the team. Can they stick together? Will they weather through the — will they keep fighting for survival? And then once that's — once it's clear that hurdle, okay, what problem is this team trying to solve? And do I believe they have the background and the technical expertise to go and do it? And often I find that they have the passion, but not the technical expertise.” (As reported by Cointelegraph)
