Understanding VC is a deep dive on how Venture Capitalists work. In this episode, I talk to Hsu Ken Ooi, Co-Founder and Managing Partner at Iterative VC on Iterative, a YC-style accelerator focused exclusively on Southeast Asia, what he looks for in startups applying for the Iterative program, why he is excited for the future of Southeast Asian tech ecosystems and how Iterative plans to add value to it. Prior to Iterative, he was the Chief Product Officer of Workmate, an on-demand blue-collar staffing platform in Southeast Asia and talks about the importance of quick validation of your hypothesis while building a product. Hsu Ken also shares his entrepreneurial journey building ‘Decide.com’, a price comparison website co-founded by Hsu Ken which was later sold to eBay in 2013 & about ‘Weave’, a YC funded professional networking app.
