P.S. Jonathan Teo’s letter to LP’s and portfolio is worth reading every bit. #respect

You only know the pain of raising a fund, support stellar companies, get them close to unicorn status and only to see it taken away in a glimpse from a media blow out you never expected and probably not your fault in entirely is just painful beyond words in a VC life & Jon has done a admirable job of communicating it, doesn’t look like a PR exercise to me ( But hey, don’t quote me, it my personal opinion anyways on where you stand from ).

The story of the other partner, who by all means is trying to save the Portfolio he co-created, keeping entrepreneurs’ in centre, ensuring way of returning to the agitated LP’s and fighting the good fight with all means keeping the shit together as much as he to clean up the house as it is burning down. That needs some serious courage, guts, clear head & heart in place to be doing what he is doing. Only mistake he probably realised very late is trusting a pervert partner as co-founder who had personal choices with women. But Still its life lesson in picking the right partner #vc #startups
