It was an absolute pleasure talking with David Shein today

Really appreciate David for his time and coming on the podcast today

David is the Author of The Dumbest Guy At The Table, and Partner at OIF Ventures

David built ComTech and at the time of sale it had made 700 Million in Revenues, and sold for an enterprise value of over 1 billion

Some of my key takeaways:

1. Australia as the hub for innovation
2. Unicorn status = regular growth and delivering exceptional results
3. Have a sweet spot as a VC Fund

and more
