Hello fellow Steemians!
I guess before we all start writing about our hobbies, there is an introductory post to be written. We all get ahead of ourselves and forget about that small tidbit.
My name is Chris, a startup enthusiast! Born and raised in the states, but spent the last 8 years of my life in Korea. It's been 10 years since I graduated from college, where I worked in consulting for a few years before dipping my foot into the startup scene. I've always been fortunate in that the startups that I have worked on seem to do well. My first startup TMON went from 0 to 4+ billion dollars in GMV in 6 years. Left after 5 years and started my second startup Althea, the number 1 Korean beauty e-commerce that caters to Southeast Asian consumers selling the trendiest Korean beauty products.
Ironically, thinking I was on top of the world, I started investing in startups thinking everything would do well. Man was this far from the truth. Be it as it may, let's just say that I won't be so active anymore investing in other people's projects :)
Regarding the blockchain, I came upon the crypto scene back in 2015, tried dabbling in mining, both physically and cloud.
Anyways, that's my professional/hobby life in a nutshell for the past decade. Will post some new stuff in the future that I have experienced and hopefully can benefit others! Never in my life did I think I would be writing posts until I saw Steemit. Loved the model, talked with some of the team members, loved the team, and with the help with a few colleagues, thought that I could potentially provide some insight. If you have any questions into any of my experiences, let me know!
Ta ta and have a wonderful week, fellow Steemians!
Chris
