Kaye Han: Exiting the WeWork of China, Founders Must Know More Than I do | YUVC Podcast #4

Kaye Han: Exiting the WeWork of China, Founders Must Know More Than I do | YUVC Podcast #4

A Hospitality Management graduate from Cornell University, Kaye founded Woo Space, the WeWork of China and second largest of its kind in Beijing. There, Kaye witnessed a brief history of Chinese venture euphoria, as venture-backed startups move in and out the Woo Space.
After exiting Woo Space to NASDAQ: UK, Kaye now invests in early-stage startups leveraging Chinese strengths and addressing global markets.
Highlights:
YY: How can founders in deep trouble thrive?
Kaye: 1) Don't get loans to sustain your startup. 2) Stop loss in time. Be rational.
YY: Can you describe an experience in which you gave up on something you had meticulously planned?
Kaye: I was planning to build an Amazon Aggregator after exiting Woo Space. But since the interest rate hike, the key factor of this business, the cost of debt, wasn't sustainable anymore for us to carry on.
YZ: What is Antler Dragon Fund like in 5 years?
Kaye: We want to become the first choice of Chinese startups going global, especially for the founders who studied abroad.
