🏒 “You don't have to be right all the time … As a founder, your job is to optimize more shots on goal … If you’re from an underprivileged background, add resources and support systems that can give you more shots on goal.” —@MadhuYalamarthi, Co-founder & CEO at @modakmakers

Our #GGVNextGen career advice series continues with 2 founders in GGV’s portfolio who shared how a fundamental belief in mental, social, and financial wellness has shaped their own entrepreneurial journeys: @wp & @MadhuYalamarthi

Culture is built through rituals, norms, and role models. @t_xu is ours. Hence, even at an early stage and amidst this macro turbulence of cost cutting, we at @modakmakers leaned in and launched our award of execution.

Culture is set by rituals and norms. This is ours: “Circle of gratitude”. Every 2 mos at retreat, We go around and put a note for everyone we work such and why we’re grateful to them for being in this team. Pick me up for our low moments as team and individuals, esp when remote.

The power of an exceptional team: The “1-year wishlist” gets executed in 3 months. || From our ritual: Every 2-3 months when we do our planning, we put sticky notes with our wishlist and see how far we came along. Seemed daunting at first, now it’s energizing and confidence boost

Also, here's an interesting aha moment for me: The second chart looks mind blowing partly because of the first chart: Having high-potential, digital native customers makes #s much better. And why we're positioning @modakmakers to be the fin + web3 onramp for teens in the Americas

Def, an interesting demographic -- It's a vast market with significant potential, no doubt.
We're all rooting for @modakmakers! 🙌
Modak retweeted
Absolutely one of the best markets to build out of too. Why I decided to make Latam a central theme for @modakmakers. I loved investing there, but not founding from latam felt like a regret I'd have for life! From what I read/saw, it resembles China's 2010s and India's 2014s!

Watch this company 👇🏼. One of the most amazing people to ever be part of team GGV. We of course jumped at the chance to invest in whatever he wanted to do next. Onward @MadhuYalamarthi 😊🚀
My heart is full to say much. Too much excitement, anxiety, and adrenaline rush -and much more gratitude for the trust, mentorship, and support from @hanstung, @jrichlive, @glennsolomon, @robin_p_li, @jenholmstrom, and everyone at @GGVCapital placed in me and
@modakmakers (1/n)

Fantastic thread from @hanstung on what makes 🇺🇸 what it is! 🙏Excited to support you @MadhuYalamarthi in a tiny way and wishing you and team Modak the very best on your next chapter!
One of my favorite things about being a VC is helping someone pursue their dreams. Today, my former team member @MadhuYalamarthi launched his new company @modakmakers, a web3-based platform for teens with big dreams.

Amazing thread, Hans!!! I love @MadhuYalamarthi and am so excited about what he is building and am also so impressed with how tenacious he is! He is a learning machine and I can't wait to see what he achieves on his journey!

(10/n) Last, but not least, we picked @BloombergLinea_ to come out of stealth (and launch in Latam) as it perfectly embodies @modakmakers. Founded in the US, global in vision, and locally loved in Latam. Here is the translated version of our announcement- bit.ly/39bYd8L

(9/n) Our team and I will give everything we have to make a difference with this platform you gave us, and prove ourselves to be worth of it. Excited to be back as a builder!
Modak retweeted
(8/n) There are 30+ advisors, mentors, and friends such as @_ram_, @brochkind, @anandc, @vamsi_edu, @sumitmaniyar, at @StanfordGSB who played a unique and irreplaceable role in helping get to where I'm, and I'm thankful for their trust, advice, and investment in me and my team
Modak retweeted
(7/n) Also, special thanks to @fanchogg (the second person I pitched to, after Hans) for his trust, friendship, and resources to get our Bogota team started. I'm forever an advocate for Frubana and I'm glad that we started of with that DNA. His entire leadership team seeded us!
Modak retweeted
(6/n) I'm also excited to have support from firms with similar DNA and those who I deeply respect (from working with them in the trenches) @carlodapuzzo (monashees), @hsrr79 (Nazca), Monica Saggioro (Maya Capital), and Bruno Yoshimara (@onevc_) join me and my team in this journey

(5/n) I'm so excited now to take all these lessons and values to make the world a more fairer place using technology, and do it globally from Day1! So proud and privileged to build @modakmakers alongside you and on top of your giant platform!
Modak retweeted
(4/n) You have also given me the front row seat to global tech ecosystem with 100+ Monday meetings, diligence of 800+ startups, close to a dozen portfolio companies across the 🌎to support and learn from, and coaching, mentorship, and guidance
Modak retweeted
(3/n) Right from the moment I met @hanstung to going through ups and downs - especially in difficult moments such as Covid closures - to the highs of tech boom, I have never seen a group that is more committed to this mission and making the valley and tech a fairer place
