FM Interlude - MB&F Tales From the Tribe Episode 1 - Learn how to smell the roses with Wen Hsieh

This is a special Forward Momentum interlude to bring you the MB&F Tales From the Tribe Podcast.

This first episode of our series features Wen Hsieh. He was, until recently, a managing partner at Kleiner Perkins, one of the world's most prominent venture capital firms in Silicon Valley, he's an expert at fostering tech innovations through startups, and he just started his own Hardtech VC firm Matter Venture Partners. Maximilian Büsser says that meeting him is one of the high points of his last couple of years, because as successful as Wen is as an entrepreneurial venture capitalist, he still cultivates a little touch of madness in everything he does. In this episode, we’ll talk about Wen’s childhood in the Amazon jungle living like a native Indian kid, Google’s historic first fundraise, the power of imagination in his daily life, his willingness to find work life balance as a busy venture capitalist, and finally the dream he wishes to achieve in the year to come.

Independent watchmaking comprises just about 1% of Swiss watch exports and less than 1% of the total market value, yet independent watchmakers and independent brands have been one of the most dominant forces in the watch industry in the last decade. Jin me to explore the world of independent watchmaking through the eyes of those living it daily.
