Response to Jun: My reflection of the past year in building FD



So my cofounder Jun recently did a vlog talking about his experiences in the past 1.5 years as an entrepreneur, and he wanted me to join in his conversation. I haven't been vlogging too much and as you can tell I don't have his extremely personal kind of charisma, but I thought I might as well treat it as a way to practice this. Being dead-tired after midnight doesn't help either. However, its fine. A lot of people out there, including a personal branding expert, aren't that great in presentations and talking in a slick manner, but as long as they don't let it pin them to the ground, they still create value and have a big following. Eitherway, enjoy the video and let me know if I should do more of that or just give up on it.

Quick Summary:

We made a big gamble for a big vision, and many things that are unpredictable happened that caused us to not be victorious. That's just the nature of hightech startups: with a lot of smarts and hard work, things will work out IF YOU ARE LUCKY. If not, its just a volatile game that you learn, grow, and have fun. Right now because the economy is not doing that great, our company is focusing on generating cash flow, convert it into a automated cashcow, and use that to support us in funding our other projects.
