AnnaGuzova··on Female Russian founder. Should I talk in Y Combinator video?
How can it be racism? I am the same white race. Blonde hair, blue eyes. Just Russian. My American founder is much darker. )))))

I have much experience with formal presentation, but only in my Russian language. I have made presentations about almost one billion dollars, but always in the native Russian.

In this language, my partner has so many accomplishments. Every week, he is appearing on BBC for example, as the respect expert. For me, this pressure is so strong.

We are equals in our company. He is the hacker, I am the banker. But it does not mean we are equals, in English presentation!

With respect, is this not proving the opposite point?!

If my accent is incomprehensible to the American English speaker, it is crazy for me to talk!!!

We need to communicate. My American founder has the strongest capability, for this extremist challenge. Every second I am taking from him, is one second he is not communicating.

I speak six languages! In Russia, it is not anything special!

Thank you. It's true, I have lots to contribute. It's why we are partners! But why cannot I give my information for him to read, in a video?

The video recording is only for one minute. Such a short time for communicating! We need every second. He is the most efficient.

If it was a computer algorithm, it would be stupid to use such a leaky channel, with much entropy. Why should we do the same in recording the video?
