On WDKY, we're serious about startup success but we don't take ourselves too seriously. We bring you the people that have made it all happen and ask them to tell us about the many ways they could have failed – and often DID fail. 

We also make beer recommendations ;-)

Founded an enterprise tech co, found your first few customers and looking to accelerate?
We might be the right fit: 👇


Running a startup is no cakewalk.

→ Obscenely high failure rates
→ Great products don’t automatically = success
→ Super steep learning curve
→ Heavy commitment of time, headspace, and resources

Yet, here we are. You’re running your own startup now.
Quietly excited, but also anxious and unsure.
Concerns like limited runway, hiring, expansion, legalese flood your waking thoughts.

That's why I co-founded Tin Men Capital.

To support and accelerate the ambitions of brilliant B2B SaaS founders in South-East Asia at Series A and beyond. Those that have made great sacrifices to bring their best to the world – especially those focused on legacy industries that are now digitising.

Our approach to venture investing differs slightly from most firms:

→ We believe B2B Startups are a team sport. Founders, advisors and investors must all bring something to the table
→ We only invest in a handful of companies each year. We care deeply about each company we back
→ >80% of time spent advising and opening doors for founders
→ We are complementary to other VCs who have a different approach and collaborate to share insights
→ Full-stack team of venture builders with board and corporate experience - that includes some of our LPs!

If that sounds like the type of investor and partner you’d like on your cap table, I’d love to hear from you.

➡️ My background:
I've sat on the boards of more than 25 venture-backed enterprise tech firms since 2008 in various countries (Singapore, India, Australia, and the US), and stages (from pre-revenue startups to 2000+ employee firms)

I've seen the worst side of the economy during the depths of the financial crisis at 28 which was when my career in venture began. My worldview and opinions are also fuelled by previous roles in consulting, research and large-cap investments.

I have lived in and experienced different cultures across Singapore, India, Taiwan, Malaysia, and the US over the years.

Fun fact: I'm also a competitive cyclist 🚴‍♀️ (Singapore gold medal winner at the 2018 Asian Cycling Championships)

Co-Founder of Altrosyn and DIrector at CDTECH | Inventor | Manufacturer

Hey! 
Let's converse.I'm Godwin Josh, a technologist, entrepreneur, and mentor with over three decades of experience at the intersection of software development, team-building,a bit of hardware and business strategy. I love science, technology and socioeconomics

I cut my teeth in the world of technology as a child back in 1992, working with Animator Pro in DOS to assist my father in his client projects. By 1998, while still in school, I had already ventured into web development, mastering HTML and JavaScript. This early start laid the groundwork for a Computer Science Engineering degree and subsequent ventures that would change the technology landscape, one innovation at a time.

Upon graduating, I embarked on my entrepreneurial journey, founding a development team that specialized in creating SMS software that utilized massive mobile phone farms. Over the years, we evolved into an enterprise that developed a range of products, from software for medical professionals to video streaming solutions. One of our flagship products, Livebox, broke new ground in the streaming server market, with customized modules like Podcast Streamer, Cloud playout, Cloud plus on-premise Transcoder, etc.

In the realm of talent development, I took the path less traveled. I founded the IVB7 team by through fresh and young graduates training them from scratch in a plethora of technologies ranging from .NET and Python to Nodejs and Linux.

Parallel to my ventures in India, I co-founded Altrosyn Technologies along with my decade long friend Karl Selander, with a focus on engineering and development in sectors like payment processing, analytics, and IoT. Just like with IVB7, I built the Altrosyn teams from the ground up along with Karl, imbuing them with the self-learning frameworks to evolve continuously.

Beyond technical skills, I've also mastered the art of business strategy. I architected marketing workflows, utilized growth hacking tools, and even over-engineered spreadsheets to use as a viable CRM alternative for streamlined HR and accounting processes.

My recent endeavors involve Big Data Analytics and Generative AI, involving custom training of LLMs for Voice, Video, Network and Data.

Other than work, I love doing scientific experiments,hoping to benefit humanity someday, playing music as an amateur and of-course playing with my little kid.

Feel free to DM to rub shoulders someone with a unique blend of technical expertise, team leadership, and business acumen, let's connect. or simply reach out to me at godwin@cdtech.in.

Let's forge the future together! 👍
