Shawn Cheng - Daenerys Targaryen or Bruce Lee? Who's the Real Dragon? #VCHunted Twitter Story
Shawn Cheng's early Twitter activity offers a glimpse into the evolving perspectives of a venture capitalist. Peter Saddington examines a 2013 tweet where Cheng identified Daenerys Targaryen as his "spirit animal," juxtaposing this with the more established figure of Bruce Lee. The discussion explores the idealism associated with Daenerys as a "breaker of chains" and contrasts it with the potential for such idealism to lead to destructive outcomes. Saddington prompts Cheng to reflect on whether his earlier aspiration aligns with his current worldview, particularly given Daenerys's later actions in the *Game of Thrones* series. The exchange also touches on the role of "VC Hunters" in holding venture capitalists accountable for their public statements and evolving narratives.
