"I co-manage a $100 million venture capital fund focused on the gaming industry with my twin brother. As a fund, we frequently rank among the world's top 10, co-invest alongside giants like Tencent, KRAFTON, and Ubisoft, and our portfolio games often win prestigious awards, including the Steam Awards, BAFTA, Golden Joystick Awards, The D.I.C.E. Awards, and many others. As a family unit, we share even more lore. Before the fund, my brother and I worked together in consulting for many years."
"Honest communication is king If you have siblings and have ever tried to do something together, you are very likely to relate to my experience. Family doesn't forgive mistakes easily and never sugarcoats "feedback." And this ... is one of the biggest advantages of working with my brother. We don't filter ourselves at work and we're not afraid to offend each other. Do we sometimes shout at each other? Yes. Do we argue? Absolutely. But we always make up after that."
A $100 million venture capital fund focuses on the gaming industry and frequently ranks among the world's top 10. The fund co-invests alongside major companies such as Tencent, KRAFTON, and Ubisoft, and portfolio titles regularly win prominent awards like the Steam Awards, BAFTA, Golden Joystick, and The D.I.C.E. Awards. The co-managers are identical twin brothers who share lifelong personal and professional bonds. Brutal honesty between them reduces overexplaining and misunderstanding, speeds processes, and improves efficiency. Arguments occur but are reconciled quickly. Constructive criticism remains essential, and leaders should cultivate cultures where efficient, constructive feedback is shared freely, including upward.
