General Partner, SOSV & Managing Director, Orbit Startups, William Bao Bean in conversation with Omar Abedin - Deep Dive with OA | DDOA S2 Ep 7 You know you're making the right moves as a startup founder when William Bao Bean agrees to invest in you. At NICK we have the privilege of incubating two startups that have received investment from William, Lorryz and SwagKicks. It's fair to say that William is not new to the Pakistani ecosystem, in fact he's deeply knowledgeable about the businesses being built in the country and how local startup founders operate. He's also someone who never stops learning and gaining insight into new markets, his visit to the country is proof of that. And he has invested in 16 Pakistani startups to date, with more coming! Most compare Pakistan's ecosystem to an early Indonesia but interestingly that's not what William believes. My conversation with William focuses on his early experiences as an investor and how that informs his views on Pakistan as an up-and-coming force in the world of technology. It was a delight talking to one of the earliest and most ardent believers in the Pakistan story. I hope this episode leaves you with optimism for the future, I know that's what it did for me. #Startups #StartupStrategies #VentureCapital #Investing #Fundraising #SOSV #WilliamBaoBean #Orbit #OrbitStartups #DeepDive #DeepDiveWithOA
