Veteran venture capitalist Jenny Lee made her mark backing some of China's top tech startups. Now Southeast Asia may offer her similar early-stage opportunities ...

The two met at the event and Lei revealed to Lee his idea for a startup cellphone company, for which he had a primitive prototype. Lee also had to rise to the challenge of operating in one of the world’s toughest—and most promising—markets for venture capital. In 2019, Lee and Foo—who had been investing in Southeast Asia since 2005—decided to reopen GGV’s Singapore office, attracted to the region’s fast-growing digital economy that spawned many of today’s unicorns. “No one knew GGV.” In the same 2020 interview, she glimpsed the rigors of entrepreneurship in those early days: “In a way, I understand what startups have to go through.” It was a calculated risk as the global economy was going deeper into recession at the time—and it came with a hefty price. Lee systematically visited them one by one, chatting up the directors to ask them to cherry-pick the top firms in their park, and then meeting with each of those companies. It was an early sign of the firm’s confidence in Lee’s potential to pioneer a crucial market. To unearth investments, Lee and her China team used to tear apart smartphones, identifying the makers of critical internal components and then invest in them. China is home to the highest number of Asian companies in the portfolio, with 77 investee companies listed on its site—only the U.S. For her success, especially in a male-dominated field, she has also been included in Forbes’ list of the [World’s Most Powerful Women](https://www.forbes.com/power-women/#54ed19355e25) three times and Forbes Asia’s [Power Businesswomen list in 2019](https://www.forbes.com/sites/forbesasiateam/2019/09/23/asias-power-businesswomen/?sh=c2516186d18a). The funds raised by Lee and her team was the highest ever in GGV’s 22-year history, increasing the firm’s assets under management by 27% to an all-time high of $9.2 billion.

Letter: Blaine Stothard and Barbara France repond to a long read on how a primary school in Oxford is striving to give children the education they deserve ...

Not for the first time did I shed tears of anger and frustration at the machinations of a government that cares little about the wellbeing or education of our children. Inspiring, because of the leadership and pedagogical knowledge and understanding of Sue Vermes and her team – the best of committed and trained professionals. Depressing because of what it tells us about the continuing impact of austerity and not-to-be-contested ideological convictions of governments over the past 12 years, here exemplified by the imposition of phonics.

Five pieces of career advice, shaped by economics, psychology, and a little bit of existential math.

If you outsource your sense of worth to the feedback of crowds and the approval of peers and professional counterparties, your working identity will feel like a sailboat in a hurricane. Don’t take the job you want to talk about at parties for a couple of minutes a month. Take the job you want to do for hundreds of hours a year. And if they do, they should know that there is no substitute for working really hard and caring, contra the popular internet-y idea that hard work amounts to a kind of false consciousness, or that the word hustle is for dweebs. And you should be honest with yourself if it’s a taste you want to cultivate. “Don’t do the job you want to tell people you do,” he said. Don’t do the job you want to tell other people you do. “Do the job you want to do.” Well, damn, I replied. Do the job you want to do. In a deep analysis of the careers of scientists and artists, he found that their “hot streaks” tended to be periods of focused and narrow work following a spell of broader experimentation. Even if, like me, you don’t quit your employer, you should constantly look to quit your job—the precise set of roles for which you are salaried—and push yourself into discomfort zones. But it is too small a thing to take too seriously.

Porsche said on Friday it and Red Bull were terminating talks about the possibility of Porsche's entry into Formula One.

Red Bull principal Christian Horner ruled out a Porsche takeover last Friday and said any partnership would have to be on the Formula One team's terms. Media reports had suggested long-standing talks between Porsche and Red Bull were stalling due to a gap between how much control the Volkswagen-owned marque wanted and what Red Bull was prepared to give. BERLIN, Sept 9 (Reuters) - Porsche said on Friday it and Red Bull were terminating talks about the possibility of Porsche's entry into Formula One.

Porsche said Friday its negotiations with Red Bull for a partnership that would allow the German luxury carmaker to enter Formula One have failed.

But Porsche underlined that the premise for a deal was "always a partnership on an equal footing that covers an engine partnership and the team". Friday's statement came as a surprise as a deal by Porsche had been seen as imminent after fellow German automobile giant Audi announced that it will become an engine supplier in Formula One for the first time in the 2026 season. No details had been given about the deal but reports had suggested that it would involve Porsche buying a 50 percent stake in Red Bull's team and become engine suppliers.

An ideal start to its home weekend for Ferrari as Charles Leclerc topped FP1 at Monza with Max Verstappen fifth.

Gasly took to the track for FP1 following feeling ill on Thursday, but was given a clean bill of health after being called in early following smoke from the car. His first flying lap was a 1m:25.230s effort, taking over one second clear at the top of the time sheets, with Sergio Perez slotting in second place. His time of a 1m:22.410s was untouchable throughout the remainder of the session as the 2019 winner set the early pace. Verstappen was quickly on the pace, armed with the Hard tyres on his Red Bull machine. The Monegasque went top of the time sheets shortly after the mid-session lull, equipped with the Soft tyres on his special-liveried Ferrari. Leclerc was down in ninth after the initial runs at Monza after the pitlane held a minute's silence in memory of Queen Elizabeth II who died on Thursday.
