Highlights:

YZ: $5M and 10 Countries, what was really the old days of a capital efficient company like?
Aleks: The best way to be capital efficient It's not to have a choice. Majority of companies starting 10 years ago outside of the United States didn't really have a choice but to be capital efficient.

YZ: What is the vision of s16vc?
Aleks: In five years, we just want to be one of the top five European founders funds. I think it's pretty boring, straightforward, very difficult, but straightforward.
