[00:02:26] S4: I think there is no one size fits all for an exceptional entrepreneur. One of the key characteristics, though, that I often see in great founders is they have this really strong sense of always doing what's best for the company. In many ways, can be self sacrificial, that they always put the company first and the mission first. If you wanna be famous, this is not the place for you. Being famous versus being paid a lot versus being... Having an easy lifestyle, all of which is not true. Hi. My name is Eric Kim. I'm the cofounder and managing partner of Goodwater Capital. Goodwater Capital is a global venture capital firm that we founded in 2014. We're entirely focused on consumer tech investing. So today, Goodwater Capital has grown to over $3,300,000,000 in committed capital. We're in close to over 50 countries at this point through our Genesis portfolio, which is over 700 seed portfolio companies. And in our core portfolio companies, that's for our early stage fund and our growth stage fund, that's about 80 companies at this point in about 20 countries. Our thesis is that consumer technology is changing the world, and there's an opportunity to use the Internet and digital technology for good. Our mission is to empower exceptional entrepreneurs everywhere, change the world for good. I'm so thankful to my parents. My mother and father lived through the Korean War. They came to The United States to seek a better life, with one suitcase, with the little money they had, in their pockets. But what they did have was an education that they were both trained as medical doctors. At that time, The United States had a severe shortage of shortage of medical doctors, and they were inviting overseas doctors to come even if they didn't speak English very well. I think in my school, we were the only Koreans. And I remember distinctly one day my father calling me into his room, to his bedroom. I was 12 years old old at the time. That's the same age my... As my oldest son at this point. And my father just sat me down and said, hey, Eric. I need to have a talk with you. At that time, my father, with these intense tears in his eyes, told me, Eric, you're growing up now. You're 12 years old. You're about to become a teenager, and life is gonna be hard.

Because you're an Asian American, because you're Korean, because of the color of your hair, the color of your eyes, the shape of your eyes, the color of your skin, life is gonna be difficult. You will immediately be discounted. And I think part of this was my father's own experience in the workplace facing racism there or maybe some bias as well. But he understood that for me as an Asian American, that it was important for me to understand that because of that discount, he instilled into me that we really needed to be a 120%, a 150% better, so to speak, to really compare with our our peers who didn't have this Asian face or this background or so. And that really had a tremendous impact on my life in many ways. I felt a sense of urgency that I had to perform, that I had to just be better in many ways. That was a really important lesson. I think as I've grown up and as I've matured, I realized that in many ways, yes, that bias exists and, yes, that prejudice exists and and racism exists and, yes, education, hard work, all those elements were keys for me to be hopefully successful in life. Over time, what I've realized as well is that I also need to embrace and not always just perform for the sake of trying to be better itself? What if humility was a superpower? What if as myself, I could embrace that and not be afraid of that? That's something I'm really interested and excited about going forward too. As an undergrad, I had the opportunity when I was at Yale to also intern at McKinsey and Company during the summer. So in 2002, I I graduated from undergrad, and I was expected to start at McKinsey right away. I eventually went back to McKinsey and I spent
