  • BRAVE: VC Ghosting, Portfolio Math & The Brutal Truth About Startup Survival - E667

    BRAVE: VC Ghosting, Portfolio Math & The Brutal Truth About Startup Survival - E667
    Feb 4 2026
    Jeremy Au breaks down how venture capital really works after the check clears. He explains how VCs silently re-rank startups every year, why most companies get deprioritized, and how a tiny number of winners carry an entire fund. The discussion covers angel buyouts, secondaries, IPO strategy, and the tension between founders and boards during exits. It’s a candid look at portfolio math, hidden incentives, and the survival rules founders rarely hear out loud. 01:47 The Hidden VC Scoreboard: Investment does not end evaluation. Partners continuously judge companies and shift attention toward expected winners. 04:45 The Brutal Portfolio Math: Most companies fail, a few return small wins, and one or two generate the 50x outcomes that power the entire fund. 06:20 Every Round Is a New Test: Each funding round resets conviction as investors decide whether to double down or step back. 13:25 Founder Vision vs. Board Incentives: Acquisition decisions split control from economics founders want long-term vision while boards optimize for return timing.

  • Kamil Pabis: Why Health Hits a Ceiling, Longevity Needs Drugs & Science Moves Too Slowly - E666

    Kamil Pabis: Why Health Hits a Ceiling, Longevity Needs Drugs & Science Moves Too Slowly - E666
    Feb 1 2026
    Kamil Pabis, a longevity researcher based in Singapore, joins Jeremy Au to unpack why extending a healthy lifespan needs systems thinking, not quick hacks. They define longevity as targeting aging itself, explain why academia both enables and constrains progress, and show how Singapore’s policy choices support longer lives. They also discuss the biohacker pipeline, the promise of drugs like rapamycin, and why regulation and trial design slow real proof in humans. 06:40 Longevity targets the underlying aging process: Kamil explains that doctors treat a disease, but longevity research aims at the shared driver behind many age-related diseases. 09:26 Academia runs on idealists, then burns them out: Kamil describes low pay, long hours, and boss dependence as structural issues that push researchers into burnout cycles. 16:08 Singapore extends lifespan through policy and environment: They link higher life expectancy to prevention, vice taxes, and public health rules, not just individual discipline. 21:42 Lifestyle upgrades hit a biological ceiling: Kamil argues that once basics are covered, health gains flatten and average lifespan still converges near the low 90s without slowing aging. 32:02 Biohacker communities create a flywheel for early tools: Kamil explains how Singapore meetups mix researchers, healthcare professionals, and biohackers, creating demand for imperfect but improving products. 46:34 Ethics and bureaucracy slow trials more than science: Kamil argues medical systems focus on risk avoidance and move slower than places like China, even when volunteers exist. 50:12 Personal longevity means basics first, then selective layering: Kamil advises covering sleep, exercise, nutrition, and medical basics first, then adding a small number of targeted interventions before diminishing returns set in.

  • BRAVE: Founder Control VS. VC Governance, Exit Risk & Value Protection - E665

    BRAVE: Founder Control VS. VC Governance, Exit Risk & Value Protection - E665
    Jan 28 2026
    Jeremy Au discusses how value is created, preserved, and lost in Southeast Asian startups, focusing on governance, control rights, and exit risk. The conversation looks at real founder–investor breakdowns, regulatory shocks, and why weak structure often shows up only when things go wrong. It explains why growth alone is not enough, and how control, trust, and exit planning shape outcomes in emerging markets. 00:14 Investor Regret on Control Rights: Investors reflect on the downside of weak protections and wish they had negotiated stronger control measures earlier. 01:18 Exit Management Is a VC Skill: The discussion shifts to exits, emphasizing that building value and realizing value require different skills and planning. 06:09 Light-Touch Governance and Fraud Risk: How US-style light governance in Indonesia contributed to aggressive growth, weak oversight, and fraud issues. 09:07 Growth Pressure and Revenue Fraud: A direct link is drawn between growth-at-all-costs behavior and manipulation of revenue numbers in emerging markets.
