For our inaugural episode, we’re speaking with Pong, who attended our first Unconference. One of the best things about Pong is that he’s up for anything, so he’s the perfect guinea pig – or, um, lab partner.
I worked with Pong for 2 years while we were at OMG. Now Pong is CTO of a crypto project that deals with treasury and risk management. Our conversation starts with crypto and we spend more time on the topic than we wanted to – but perhaps that was to be expected. It’s a bit deep so if you haven’t been following all the failures with FTX, Alameda, and Sam Bankman Fraud – ahem, Fried – it might seem somewhat foreign. Please feel free to follow up with any questions.
Eventually, we get into who Pong believes is the best founder of the last 10 years, what he describes as Thailand’s entrepreneur caste system, and what software from the early aughts that he’s excited about.
