In this episode recorded during the RISE Conference, we got the shortest interview in our podcast history with Jenny Lee from GGV Capital. In this episode, Jenny Lee discussed how she started in venture capital and offered her perspectives on start-up investments from US to China, from how both cultures differ from management styles to innovation, and what her investment thesis is as it evolved across the different times from the PC to mobile era and now the new internet of things world.

Producer’s Note: The actual interview was actually twice as much as what we have. Unfortunately, due to a technical glitch and a fellow media journalist for interrupting the podcast, we are unable to recover the 2nd half. We sincerely apologize and hope that we can get Jenny back for another interview sometime in the future.
