I’m Vinnie Lauria, a not so evil Venture Capitalist, AMA!

Hi TIA community!  Love the idea of TIA taking a jump to use a platform like this.

I started off as a developer, working for my first startup while still in high school.  I built two startups in San Fran, one failure, one minor success, before backpacking asia for 1 year with my wife Kristine.  Landed in Singapore in 2011 and had the fortune of meeting many amazing people, including Jeff Paine.

I’m happy to answer ANY questions, some topic ideas:

• Raising money
• Creative marketing techniques
• Building communities
• Startup ecosystems
• Silicon Valley
• Southeast Asia
• Backpacking or Traveling
• Telling your parents you’re leaving a comfy corporate job to do a startup
