Manus's move is worth every entrepreneur's careful consideration.

Just looking at the funding list makes it clear: Tencent, Zhenge, HSG, and other top players are all in. By normal logic, they should have already been deeply involved in the domestic market. But Manus's boldest move is precisely this — when the wind shifts, even deep local relationships are willing to be sacrificed. They directly abandon all the paths laid out domestically and physically move to Singapore.

This is not capriciousness; it's clarity.

How many entrepreneurs are held hostage by sunk costs like "I've already invested so much" or "I've built all these relationships"? They can't even turn around. But Manus's choice tells you: true decision-making power lies in seeing where the next opportunity is, not in looking back at how much has been spent.

Meta's investment strategy is also validating the same logic — capital flows toward opportunity. There are no eternal positions, only eternal returns. To win, you must first learn to let go.

To be honest, the sunk cost fallacy has tripped up many entrepreneurs. But Manus directly switching from China to Singapore is indeed quite bold. Going all-in physically really takes guts.

In simple terms, don't get caught up in sunk costs; you should go where the opportunities are. --- Sunk costs are truly the nemesis of entrepreneurs. Many people I know have fallen into this trap. --- The key is having the courage to say no to your past decisions—that's the hardest part. --- Tencent Zhenge's team has invested and still can let go, which is really tough. --- It sounds simple, but when it comes to actually doing it, it's a different story. --- Capital always follows the trend; people must learn to move with the capital. --- That's why most entrepreneurs get stuck in the end—they carry too much baggage. --- Singapore's move was indeed bold, completely overturning the domestic network and starting over.

To be honest, I really respect this logic. The sunk cost fallacy is like a token unlock curve that's stretched out too long—no matter how good the mechanism design is, you'll get criticized early on. Manus daring to directly discard domestic groundwork shows that the team truly understands the market cycle. I'm just worried that those who have raised funds but stubbornly hold onto a position will end up getting trapped in the end.

It's a good point, but it's easy to say and hard to do... So many people just get stuck in the sunk cost trap.

To be honest, this move is really ruthless. Sunk costs are the most toxic.
