Understanding VC is a deep dive on how venture capitalists work. In this episode, I have a wonderful conversation with Amra Naidoo, Co-Founder and General Partner at Accelerating Asia, a VC fund based in Singapore. Amra shares her opinion on whether everyone should start a business at least once in their career. We also talk about Accelerating Asia, 3 services that they offer the startup ecosystem and Amra explains why they invest in startups between the MVP stage and the product-market fit stage. We also weigh SMB and venture-backed businesses in terms of their impact and end the conversation by talking about the one market she is most excited about for startup investments in the region - Bangladesh.
