Choose Your Philosophy Of Company Building

During this week’s roundtable, we had as our guest Ho Nam, Managing Director at Altos Ventures. Ho made a clear distinction between capital efficient company building and the “grow at costs in all sorts of unsustainable ways” philosophy. They are two distinctly different ways of building businesses. 

You can listen to the recording of this roundtable here. The interview with Ho Nam begins approximately 51 minutes into the recording:

Job On Buddy
As for the pitches, first up, Puneet Patel from Birmingham, England, pitched Job On Buddy, a marketplace for connecting temporary blue-collar workers in the UK with employers.

Bameslog
Next, Ajay Thakur from Bangalore, India pitched Bameslog which evidently has a large number of users and offers some sort of a content consumption app. The pitch was very hard to understand, and needs huge improvement.

EverBamboo
Then K.B. Lee from Calgary, Canada, pitched EverBamboo, a bamboo-based deodorizer and dehumidifier. The company has been around since 2007 and does about $200k in revenue. It doesn’t make a lot of profits. It needs a much more precise marketing strategy to unlock further growth and profitability.
