Building the Data-Driven Venture Firm Tribe Capital with Jonathan Hsu

This week we were delighted to have Jonathan Hsu, co-founder of Tribe Capital. We discussed Jonathans upbringing, background in physics, the invention of data science, takeaways from being a partner at Social Capital and building Tribe. We learnt so much from this conversation and it’s not one to be missed.
