"I personally find BRAVE to be a great way to stay in touch with everything that's happening in tech & venture in Southeast Asia. I'm in US tech and venture capital, but I don't get to look at Southeast Asia. This has been a great gateway back home. BRAVE has been very exciting: full of personal stories and practical examples of what's being built. It's made me feel that little bit closer to investing back in the region." - Aaron Fu, Founding Partner of Sherpa VC

"I'm impressed by the coverage & insightful conversations with the ecosystem's key figures! Valuable perspective on Southeast Asia investments, well-structured and thought-provoking weekly conversations. Essential resource to stay updated on the latest trends & investors' concerns. I like the WhatsApp summaries, which are convenient for catching up with tech news if time is limited. I highly recommend the podcast to other VCs." - Yuhan Xie, Burda VC

"Two reasons attract me to the BRAVE podcast and keep me coming back. 1. Very Southeast Asia-focused. While there are a lot of podcasts that I've been listening to on Spotify, they're more generic, global & US-centric. 2. Jeremy does a great job of deep-diving into the right questions. When everyone had fresh questions on their mind about the sale of TechinAsia (a big newsletter), he dug in to examine the sale & price - offered a lot of insights that I hadn't thought about!" - Vincent Xu, Founder

"Your questions and curiosity as an interviewer really helped me to bring out how I went about the swim across the English Channel and the nuances of the mental game. I don't think I've ever been able to share so much detail and thought behind the swim before. I'll certainly share this episode among my friends, fellow swimmers and other swimmers who are going to attempt to cross. Thank you again for the chance to record this podcast. I really enjoyed it!" - Li Ling Yung, first Southeast Asian woman to swim across the English Channel

"Proud to be a top 1% listener of BraveSEA according to Spotify Wrapped. This is consistently the best podcast on the topic of venture capital and startups in Southeast Asia. The diverse range of material covered by you, Shiyan and your guests is a masterclass for anyone with aspirations to be part of this ecosystem. Keep up the great content!" - David He, Partner of Gunderson Dettmer

"This episode was BRUTALLY honest. The "reverse economic arbitrage" situation of ASEAN tech - hiring expensive foreign talent to solve inexpensive local problems. And other VC multiple issues in Southeast Asia. Thanks for being brave Jeremy & Adriel!" - Jerilyn Wu, JLT Ventures

 "Brilliant as always! Entrepreneurship is a meritocratic endeavour. Historically, SE Asia & South Asian societies have been hierarchical. While some countries have progressed, hierarchy still trumps meritocracy in most countries. Zero-sum games have been the biggest barriers to growth. Policies, regulations, and investors are key to the growth of the ecosystem. Keep sharing amazing content Jeremy!" - Chalinda Abeykoon, Partner of nVentures

"Incredibly insightful. A goldmine about the non-monolithic region of SE Asia's startup ecosystem. I love listening to the diverse range of speakers & thought-provoking questions. What really stands out are the human stories behind founders & investors: motivations, fears & impact of their work on people's lives. I also enjoy the honest discussions on the region’s truths & challenges to paint a more realistic situation on the ground, which is a refreshing perspective vs. the typical landscape reports on how amazing SEA is for growth. To anyone wishing to learn more about our VC and startup ecosystem, this is where you need to be listening in." - Ivan Gan

"As a young founder in the startup ecosystem, I have learnt much from your podcasts. I appreciate how condensed and insightful they are and how it never feels like 30 minutes. I've gained insights from various founders across multiple cities and countries. Specifically, I was struck by Chia Jeng Yang's "Reset Your Hunger” episode. It prompted me to reflect on my journey and reconnect with my confidence, spirit and hunger to move forward. Thank you Jeremy, I appreciate the work you’re doing for entrepreneurs in SE Asia!" - Malcolm Fu

"I've been an avid follower of your podcast and truly appreciate its impact in Southeast Asia! The diverse range of topics and inspiring guests provide valuable and enlightening insights. Your podcast encourages all of us to be brave and take bold steps in our lives. Looking forward to more episodes and continued inspiration.” - Eric Chan, Product Manager

"Thank you Jeremy! I've resonated with this a lot. It's really important to know what brings joy and excitement in your life." - Grace Gumula
