What do they look for?-True's views on International investing.-Conrad's advice on getting into business in Southeast Asia and the moment he knew he'd "gone native."-Does Conrad have a secret "formula" for building companies to flip? And did he sell About.Me so early, because he didn't believe in the business?-Why True isn't betting big in the current game frenzy.-Why True doesn't bet on education or music companies.-And a general roundup of questions about how to pitch True.
