In Conversation With John Lindfors, Managing Partner at DST Global | Why is this the best time ever to be an entrepreneur?

Hi dear humans, long time no podcast. The Soaked by Slush-podcast has returned 🤩🚀 In our first episode of the new season we talk to John Lindfors, Managing Partner at DST Global. There are not many Finns, if any, who have as unique an insight into both the global and Asian economies as John does. Having been an investor in many global giants such as Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp, Airbnb, Spotify, Alibaba, Slack (you get the gist), as well as having worked with the massive tech sector in China, John’s expertise and knowledge is second to none.

In this episode, we discuss global macro-trends and opportunities for entrepreneurs and investors and everything from China’s rise to the future of tech.

Expect to learn:

What are the next big tech trends for the 2020’s according to John? How did John’s predictions from 2012-2013 play out?

Will the Big Five companies be reshuffled in the coming years, or has the network effect handicapped market competition?

How has China’s economy changed and grown in the last decade?

What is the future of platform economies?

Is the COVID-19 pandemic a decade-definer, or is it too early to tell yet?
