Notable quotes
“Ideally we love to see entrepreneurs that have some domain expertise in the areas that they are operating in. We also like high energy & high intellect – and a passion to win.”
“We think Europe is a fantastic market. Many global category winners are being created in Europe – we are experiencing the tip of the iceberg.”
“When we backed MEXT, the thesis was clear: memory was becoming one of the defining constraints in AI infrastructure. As models grew larger and workloads more demanding, the pressure across the memory stack, from DRAM supply to performance and efficiency, was only going to intensify.”
