Location: Xinyi District, Taipei – Placebo Taipei
Travel note: After resting up for a few days, I went out today. My high school friend of nearly 30 years, also the founder of InfuseAI and g0v, CLKao (Jialiang), is about to move to the US for a while to develop his business, so he arranged this gathering before his departure. CL's friends—McKinsey folks, IT company owners, tech industry CVCs, Mensa members, listed company independent directors... alumni of NTU, NCCU, NYCU, NCKU, and various overseas prestigious schools—all interesting souls. Taiwan is still a small place. Chatting with YuWen across the table, she mentioned they invested in a digital identity verification company. I blurted out, 'Authme?' She immediately said yes! What a coincidence, that's Andy's company. XD Later, Yen from Hive Ventures (a VC) joined. It's been a while since I last saw him and John when Pat and I visited their office, and I didn't expect to run into him again today. Even later, Cathy from Palm Drive Capital (also a VC), whom I met for the first time, came over. I messaged her colleague, junior Fisher, telling him I met Cathy. He replied: '[Everyone knows Cathy!]' XD Later still, ipa also showed up…
