⏲ Taking a sec to grab a breath is important. With Herston Elton Powers in town, an impromptu meetup of VCs in HK across the APAC community was an opportune chance to take a step back and talk shop and also enjoy each others' company. Not that many minutes for casual discussion about the weather, however; too much to get into. Had some great conversations on wide-ranging topics central to the APAC startup community that also span investor dialogues at a global level. Digging deep into what is behind those dialogues is part of the fun at SixThirty and how those dialogues challenge the established narratives is not just important but stimulating, engaging and -thanks to the folks who joined in- enjoyable, as well.
