I'm also very passionate about angel investment, entrepreneurship, and helping startups succeed. I end up learning as much, maybe more, from the amazing entrepreneurs. As a finalist at Intel's EGI Incubator in 2019, I personally experienced how much an entrepreneur needs and values sound guidance, encouragement, and support.
