Why a VC started a podcast. Speaking at MARKETING-INTERACTIVE's Content 360 in Singapore, Vishal Harnal (Managing Partner, 500 Global) shares the real value of starting a podcast & putting out content as a venture capitalist.

We are here!🔥 Attending 500 Global for the 1st time! It’s been an inspiring experience meeting so many bright minds and learning about the impactful work 500 Global is doing. Armenian startups pitched, too - Trag founded by Khachatur Virabyan and Optimyzee founded by David Arshakian. Other participating startups represent industries such as #Web3, #HR, #FinTech, and more. My highlight was discovering Helio.AI - a platform automating the recruitment process through innovative solutions. Had a great conversation with the founders—an impressive team with huge ambitions. _ Overall, this was a valuable experience for Magnus HR as a tech-focused HR/Recruitment agency and for me personally as a professional. Thank you, Ruben Osipyan, for getting me on board. 500 Eurasia 500 Global 🚀

🌍 We were thrilled to join over 240 participants from 28 countries at the 9th #ICCAPAC Conference on International Arbitration in 🇸🇬 Singapore. This year's theme ➡️ “Looking Ahead: Shaping the International Arbitration Ecosystem." 👥 Our Head of Jus Connect, Hanh Huynh, participated in the Cross-Cultural Business Roundtable alongside Vishal Harnal of 500 Global and Claudia Salomon of ICC Arbitration, following the launch of Part 1 of ICC-Jus Connect-McCann Worldgroup Report, The Truth About Cross-Cultural B2B Relationships. Learn more about the white paper here 🔗 https://lnkd.in/gdzJW2Sf Key insights from the discussion ⤵️ 💫 B2B relationships are not purely transactional; emotions play a crucial role throughout the business journey. 🤝 Greater cultural fluency is essential for building, maintaining, and expanding business relationships. 👩🏻💼🧑🏽💼 Lawyers should engage more in the emotional aspects of business transactions to help clients understand their risk tolerance and decision-making spectrum. 🙏 Thank you to everyone who joined us and contributed to the enriching discussions. See you next year!

If you are a start-up, I suggest you take part in the program of 500 Global 500 Korea. Actually, I was the one who doubt such a program does really help me? But after the program, I changed my thought. It is not just helpful but must-have. It affects all about your journey of start-up. no matter where your journey is, it is okay. They will help you find where you are and make you on the track by yourself Special thanks to Peter , Blaire Eunhae Shin , @Min Kim, @Sean k for hard working for us (Cant find Min Kim and Sean K 🥲 plz work LinkedIn)

Thank you 500 Global team for having me be a part of your week’s events. Had a great and very open discussion with the group on how to mechanize fear, and also conducted a practical application of workplace stress mitigation tools. It was fulfilling for all of us. I have to mention big thanks to Clint Bruce for guidance and inspiration, and a major thank you to my mentor Ankha Marza, M.A., who helped me craft my message.
