10 years ago • updated by 10 years ago • 2

I was talking to an entrepreneur who recently received a huge investment from a US VC-backed company, and his news was plastered on international news. But when I asked him to share his news to the local dailies, his response was "want to stay low profile locally." Is this mentality a problem when our local hero's are too shy to come out of their shell?
