Bryan Schreier, Venture Capitalist and Partner at Sequoia Capital, spoke with our Surf Ranch panel and guests. He addressed how investors value category designers:
"I work in the venture capital business and once in a while we're lucky enough to come up across people like these up on stage — Kelly, Hanli, Kai and Bianca. People who are truly inspiring. We find this collision between their authentic passion and their convictions about creating something brand new.
"I’ve gotten to know the Play Bigger folks, who have helped us with some of our pretty well-known companies. The key thing that I look for when I first meet an entrepreneur, not just in tech but any category, is this: Can this person become a potential category creator?”
