Ep 1: Sino-US relationship, Energy innovation, Blockchain, and Fundraising Lessons with Andy Tang

How did we get to the current state of the Sino-US relationship? What is necessary for further innovation in energy transmission and distribution? Why is Andy so bullish on Crypto and Blockchain? Are founders who are good fundraisers also good daters?

Welcome to The Heroes Podcast. In each episode, we sit down with investors, founders, and thought-leaders who are building our future. This week I sat down with Andy Tang. Andy is a partner at Draper Associates, a leading seed-stage VC in the heart of Silicon Valley. Andy has an extensive career in venture, with over 20 years of investment experience, backing some of the world's brightest and most innovative founders.

We start the episode by discussing Andy’s background in tech and banking before hearing Andy’s thoughts on the current geopolitical climate between China and the United States. Hear why these geopolitical ‘pressure cookers’ provide loads of opportunity to aspiring investors and founders. We then dive into why Andy is bullish about the future of Blockchain and Energy technology. Lastly, Andy drops some wisdom on fundraising and relationships for founders. Two items that seem to have more in common than most would think.
