Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
No matter the game, understanding the other player always helps you make better moves. This logic applies to the fundraising game too.
Julio Vasconcellos is a great example of this, being a very prolific entrepreneur and investor. Julio was Facebook’s first country manager in Brazil, back in 2010. That same year, he started Peixe Urbano, which became a leading local commerce and services company in Brazil, later expanding to other 6 countries in Latin America and eventually being acquired by Baidu. He’s been an angel investor ever since and is also the co-founder of two VC funds: Canary and Atlantico.
