Tim Draper not only funds, he sings too!

A couple of us from the E27 team along with TDM and some entrepreneurs had the privileged to meet Tim Draper over his 3 day stay in Singapore. It was phenomenal! Because the table was so big, we decided to do it speed-dating style.

So after 2 mins or so everyone moved one seat down, which allowed everyone to talk to everyone else in the room. Tim is just an awesome down to earth dude. He’s a charismatic Big Friendly Giant.

After the “speed dating” was over, he rose in song, singing his self composed Riskmaster song, dedicated to all entrepeneurs…. (Considering the bling he made.. its the least he could do. heh) I managed to record it down and here it is..

In any case… during the question and answer session, I asked Tim a very sweeping question… IS THERE HOPE?

His answer was very encouraging. He said the passion and enthusiam he saw in the room reminded him of the valley when he first got into the business.

The social aspect is already there, we have the infrastructure, tremendous government support and heck, its a pretty nice place to live. We need more visionaries like him.

Its really heartwarming to see US VCs of Tim’s status look at it so positively, when the VC scene here isnt as encouraging. He has no qualms about investing in Sg based startups, in fact, he wants to be the first in the know about them!

I trust you will enjoy his song, and I think it perfectly sums it up. Cheers!
