Advice for a Y1/Y2 woman in VC
This is completely anecdotal.
I find it so interesting how little we think about professional development and career progression of our founders.
Sometimes, especially if they aren’t working in a holistic investment structure, founders have a big vision that they can’t get done by just doing one company.
Anecdotally, I don’t think that any individual thing I’ve ever opened or started would be logistically get to the vision of life and work that I’m excited about.
This can sometimes be seen as focusing on your life’s work. Very logistically, a lot of Paul Graham’s How to Do Good Work surrounds the theme of your life’s work.
As a VC, it’s important to get to the root of exactly what your founder wants to do in life. Is that product they’re hyper-focusing on, maybe even frustrating them, exactly what they want to do?
One of the most masterful examples of founder’s that practice “levers” is Sam Altman. Clearly.
