I was driving home when I told my wife how much I loved the Agave founders. She helped me realize that this kind of feeling only comes a few times a year. It was a no-brainer decision We led Agave’s pre-seed round 3 years ago, alongside @akinbabayigit. Since then, the company has been on an incredible trajectory, fueled by support from @robmoff (@balderton) and @codorniou (Felix Capital) Alper, Oguzhan, Burak, and Baran have been absolutely crushing it. Massive congrats to the entire Agave team on raising $18m and building a franchise that’s here to stay The moral of the story? Follow your heart—and listen to your wife

Best episodes are when people aren’t afraid to say how they feel even if not consensus. Just recorded the best w/ @akinbabayigit on: Why mission & vision is BS. Why you don’t have to build in a space you are passionate about. Why hiring people w/ domain expertise is bad.

It’s #Tripledot! “Building games is a team sport!” they declare, accepting the award on stage at BAFTA Piccadilly with the whole gang. #MobileGamesAwards
