Andy Lee can be considered one of the most prominent faces in Asia-Pacific's startup and corporate management practice. Having had a strong hand building the likes of Uber and Kabam in the region, he's ventured into the largely under-tapped world of software for employee stock options - through Sprout. Here he speaks about his early experiences as a venture capitalist and 1.0 tech banker in Silicon Valley, the dizzying pace of China's mobile growth, and his latest foray into democratizing economic empowerment and stakeholder management for everyone.
Andy shares in great detail how to separate the noise from the signal in navigating the world's most competitive tech ecosystem - China. The latter half of the episode dives deep into Andy's co-founded venture, Sprout, as they help startups understand the virtuous cycle: where they grow and hit milestones, raise funds, hire more staff, incentivize, retain, and hit more milestones. Sprout sits at the heart of this cycle.
