I’ve been fortunate to have benefited from an enviable collection of brilliant interns over the years, and the last two were no exception to that. I’d like to publicly commend my previous two interns who supported me in Tokyo over the past 8 months: Adelson Goncalves and Nai Tsu Chen. You are both heroes who will go far in your careers, and I will always treasure our valuable collaboration. Looking forward, I expect another VC internship opportunity opening up around September 2018:

Venture capital internship
