"The most important strategy in business is to clearly understand what game you are playing." Oleg Bibergan is the co-founder and managing partner of the s16 VC fund. He has come an amazing way from studying at Harvard in the 00s and working in consulting to creating one of the coolest Russian-speaking communities of entrepreneurs Shmit16 (https://t.me/Shmit16), which grew organically when some cool founders began to bring other cool founders. Now these deep (including informal) connections between entrepreneurs are the basis of the s16 VC community fund, where mutual assistance, support and trust are important. At the same time, they are already seasoned enough guys to deeply understand the market and find unicorns. 🦄 Oleg shared his views on global trends, how products can stand out and where to develop in the next 5-10 years.
