Q&A
Joining Apis is the opportunity I was looking for. In another life, however, having a passion for international relations and conflict resolution, I would have probably re-oriented my studies and experience to become an international diplomat or negotiator at the United Nations.
My lifetime travel would be to go on a long-journey trip from Vietnam to Singapore crossing Laos, Thailand and Malaysia. With Asian roots, and a boy scout background (10 years!), I have always enjoyed combining adventure, nature and meeting people.
A strong team diversity with sharp minds, driven by the same ambitions to invest in incredible businesses with a positive social impact.
A company with a strong product market fit demonstrated with solid unit economics; clear growth levers; and potential for outsized returns.
