My 1st day at @Stellaris_VP started with diligencing a gaming co. (this was Oct’21 - middle of the funding boom). Product was an SDK to enable monetization for casual games via a real money gaming (RMG) engine. My commerce roots & non-gaming DNA made me question my career choices

There was a time when a slew of B2B commerce startups - Inframarket, Moglix, Zetwerk and likes - got funded. That was followed by a dry spell when B2B was put on “Back Burner” and consumer-tech became the buzz-word - gaming, consumer social, creator-economy occupied all minds

Making eye contact is one of the most fundamental signs of showing respect to the person you’re conversing with. It signals that you value their presence & opinions. Doing that selectively and basis the listener’s gender is simply erroneous
