Why subscribe to my crappy VC blog?
Don’t. I mean really, you shouldn’t… it’s a huge waste of time.
But every once in a while I say something about VC you may find entertaining.
Anyway, over the past 2 decades I’ve invested in ~2,000 companies and ~50 VC funds. Maybe ~30% of them do well, and about 3% of the startups turn into IPOs. But most of the time both companies and funds don’t perform… and that’s typical in VC.
If you want to be a great VC, let me explain what NOT to do.
You’ll probably learn more from my mistakes than my advice… but fortunately, I have way more of the former than the latter. You know EXPERIENCE is what you get when you don’t get what you want — and I have a LOT of experience.
Anyway, you should really spend time doing other useful shit like brushing your teeth.
