I'm not bothered when other VCs start hiring great designers or start recruiting. That's the direction I'd like it to go.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
We worked personally with a lot of great VCs. They just work incredibly hard at supporting entrepreneurs and their companies.
I have a tendency to hire people who tend to be unattractive to the studios. Maybe this is a bad idea.
You can't really have like high end designers for everything.
Anytime you can promote young artists and designers is a cool thing.
It's very difficult for designers today. How can someone produce so many shows? Now the minimum is four a year.
We have a mentoring and angel investing programme. We are also talking to the government to help create a VC industry.
In the old days the studios guided your career. Now it's all up to you.
Great VCs do everything they can to make you successful. But just like your bank, credit card company, mortgage holder, etc. they are not confused where their long-term loyalty lies.
As a designer, design director or any creative person, you have to hire great people, support them and make them feel comfortable so they can contribute and give you their best.
I am very excited to be able to work more with young designers and support them.
