Quite simply, Lucas is a future unicorn founder or seasoned tech executive. He is a diamond in the rough. It's very rare to find a startup founder who is the visionary, the hacker, and the hustler. He is a serial entrepreneur, full-stack developer, has global experience, fluent in Mandarin, has excellent sales skills but - most importantly - he is very humble, coachable, and resourceful. - Jordan Jocius // Partner, Surfing Ventures
