Okay I THINK David have gone to bed now, we're pushing 6:42am here in Seoul, so maybe I'll get away with this, I hope he doesn't notice me posting this. Here's a SUPER early pitch for Shakr David did back in 2011 for @jason Calacanis. We've come a long way: https://youtu.be/kOhWNnxG5ao?t=1...

@antoneliasson I am NOT sleeping! I can't believe you shared that.... well, since we're here. @jason my co-founder & CTO also pitched at your first Seoul event. He did a much better job and actually won
-- whereas I had to lick my wounds. So I spent a couple of years chasing down Minku and asking him to join Shakr. Since he joined, we've raised a total of $6 million, in the past 12 weeks grown our user signups, videos created and videos purchased by 30% per week, and launched a white-labelled version of our site in the Japanese market with Yahoo! JAPAN, which is the largest internet company in Japan. Having a great CTO cofounder makes a huge difference! Thanks @premist. And thanks @jason for, in a way, making Shakr possible!

@jason Shakr is top 3 on PH right now, your first Seoul TWIST event brought 2 of our founders together!
