6'46"874, an officially certified lap time by Nürburgring. #XiaomiSU7Ultra prototype has set the record as the fastest four-door car in Nürburgring Nordschleife history. Its debut marks not only an outstanding feat, but also the start of an exciting new chapter.
Been away from the PE side of the fence so long... I forgot 12% CAGR was something that people celebrated. In venture world, those are the CEOs we fire.

Wonderful panel - not just because of the insights voiced by the panelists, but because the questions / flow really allowed us to get to the heart of WHY their world views are different. We need more discussions like this, and fewer talking heads on CNN.
