The Chinese tech ecosystem has become a mirror world to the West tech world, innovating in divergent and parallel ways to their counterparts. English information on the state of Chinese tech is limited and refracted through narratives that do not deliver reality. This newsletter wants better for its readers.

Why you should become a subscriber

    You get deeper (and more accurate) insights into what’s happening in one of the most (if not the most) exciting tech scene in the world

    You get my unique perspective as:

        A westerner who has a Chinese lens or a Chinese that has a western lens

        A VC and growth investor with 5+ years of SaaS and consumer tech investment experience

        A management consultant who spent time making slides, I mean, extracting, structuring and presenting insights

    This will make you more informed and a better investor / product manager / tech aficionado

Life has thrown a lot at me. My husband and business partner went through cancer. A close family member went through a terminal illness and passed away. I have Multiple Sclerosis and my health could change at any time. Then there is that whole pandemic. All while running multiple businesses.

I bet life has thrown a lot at you too.

Through over 12 years as an entrepreneur building a software development company and living through significant life challenges, I have learned a lot.

The most important thing I have learned is: time is not guaranteed. I have to be intentional with my time, energy and attention.

To me, productivity is all about intention. It's not about being a better worker bee or trying to jam more and more into my life. It's knowing who and what's important to me and making sure I spend my precious time, energy, and attention on them. It's taking care of myself so I don't burn out and make the most out of whatever time I have.

Now I help other entrepreneurs and business leaders do the same: calm their chaos, reduce burnout, and cultivate resilience.
