I see the passion of both the host and the guest. Great job for the two of you. Leo’s sharing is very inspirational from how he started the idea to how to find target customers to what he is looking for in a co-founder. As both a customer of the long distance food delivery platform he was working on and his friend, I see so much potential in this guy. Best luck to your next adventure!

Thank you Sean for hosting and Leo for sharing your startup experience! Love the advice you shared for early founders, especially on the type of qualities you value when choosing a cofounder, which may be counterintuitive for many. I also really appreciate that Leo shared how he decided not to feel rushed to explore another venture idea right away, which demonstrated courage and thoughtfulness to take on a more sustainable path. Good luck with your next chapter and can't wait to hear about it in a future episode :)

非常认可二位关于合伙人的看法，感谢分享。不过关于大学期间有什么可以为自己未来发展做的？我觉得可能应该借助学校和学生的身份，去和校外自己比较感兴趣的行业制造合作的机会，不单是拓展关系，更是从内部了解行业真实的情况，才有机会识别行业问题，自己不一定当时就有方法解决，但行机会都是在行业问题中发芽开花结果的。
