KrASIA debunks myths of the investment realm for you through open and candid Q&As with the practitioners. We ask, so you don’t have to.

In the second episode, we invited Paul Santos, managing Partner at Wavemaker Partners, to take on our challenge. Paul Santos will share the mistakes that founders should avoid in a pitch deck, if there’s a strong drinking culture in VC, and other myths about Southeast Asia’s VC realm.
