Bedy Yang, Managing Partner at 500 Global, joins Jill Malandrino on Nasdaq TradeTalks at @SALTConference @iconnections_io New York to discuss the important role of community and education in developing sustainable startup ecosystems.
"Building a very vibrant ecosystem means giving founders access to capital, mentorship, and network. At the same time, it means giving investors the mindset that venture is very risky, which is very different from what they are used to. What we try to do is to empower the entrepreneurs and also give the tools to the investors so that there's a cycle of venture going into several different markets.”
