Working at a big company is honorable and I don’t believe the narrative that all of this tech disruption is to kill off big companies. She is trying to build a “creative economy” in South Korea and wanted to learn from some Americans what made us so innovative and what they could learn from us. Now they are partners.

I have been close to the tech & startup sectors for more than 20 years and I can’t think of a period in which I felt more optimistic about the innovation and value creation I see in front of us.
