Yiwei invited Galen Gao, co-founder of LinkLoud, to record a candid growth interview. They had last met on the LinkLoud stage, but their first meal together quickly turned into a series of relaxed conversations captured on camera.
The easy chemistry opened space for an honest exchange about growth, founder-led distribution, and the realities of helping products reach global markets. What began as Yiwei’s first formal interview felt more like two builders comparing notes in public.
The Q&A is the start of a broader interview series built around practical lessons from people doing the work—founders and operators willing to share the decisions, experiments, and hard-earned insights behind sustainable growth.
“The best founder conversations feel less like interviews and more like building the next idea together.”
