About

My next guest on The One Percent Project is Matthew Lee, partner Progression Fund. This is an interesting conversation on many fronts. Matt defines his career in Venture Capital as an early-stage startup from pre-seed to now at product-market-fit with Progression fund that he built with musical.ly / TikTok alums, what he learnt about his himself and the VC space when he was in the pre-seed learning stage with a 67M fund and investing as an angel.His take on why Progression Fund is a consumer-focused fund, when the YCs and Greylocks of the world are bullish on B2B. How Gen Alpha are digital natives, treat Alexa as a human and could turn out to be the richest generation ever.We also discuss the opportunity that foundations such as Bill & Melinda Gates bring for Venture Capital funds through the startups these foundations are funding which is solving hard problems with a bottom-up approach in emerging economies.
