Gunderson Dettmer partner Brian Huber joined Alexa Binns and Earnest Sweat on this week's episode of the Swimming with Allocators podcast, "Building Relationships with Asian Limited Partners with Chris Shen of Revere VC." On this episode, Earnest and Alexa welcome Chris Shen, an entrepreneur, allocator, Co-Founder and COO of Revere, with extensive experience in private investments and family offices. They also speak to Brian on the expansion of the venture capital ecosystem beyond traditional geographic hubs, and the thriving tech and life sciences sectors in Boston. Brian states, "I think the other thing in the [Boston] ecosystem that sort of reinforces or buttresses it coming back from the downturn in the economy is folks are going to conferences more in person, and i think that leads to more networking. Boston's got a number of great conference centers that really cater to some pretty good industry groups...I think it's ultimately a great thing to be a part of."
