Great read from one of the VC dudes to watch in Thailand.

I always feel like I have to be careful when chatting about the Thai ecosystem but I wholly agree with this article. There needs to be more startups from Thailand focusing on regional markets and raising regionally to help them do so.

Pretty excited to announce what SeedPlus has been doing in Thailand soon!

This is a fun read. Always liked Matthew – didn’t know his brother was a VC.

Matthew McConaughey’s Brother: Bitcoin Is ‘Like Trading Underwear’ | Fortune:

What are some of the key elements you look for in a founder or company before investing?

McConaughey: We look for integrity and for someone who’s willing to hang in there. We’re not used to getting rich overnight. We don’t know anything about that. We weren’t these fat-bellied guys who had all this money at age 30. I mean, it happened for me one time but it only lasted a day or two. I was a Donald Trump millionaire for like a day and a half. It was a slow process. We don’t have any sympathy for these guys who want to get rich quick. We didn’t make our money until we were 50 years old.
