Watching entrepreneurs mature rapidly as they manage growing companies is one of the most satisfying aspects of being an investor.

I invest because I love meeting great founders and helping them succeed, not just for the money. I find it incredibly satisfying to give advice to founders like Mark Zuckerberg and Larry Page in their early years and then watch their companies take off, knowing I contributed to their success.

I found that I prefer running a company over being on the sidelines as an investor; many founders miss this realization when they start investing.

I prefer to see thousands of companies each making a billion dollars rather than a few companies dominating the market.

Warren made significant profits by following Benjamin Graham's advice to buy very cheap stocks, regardless of the company's quality, but he knew this strategy was self-limiting. Getting into great businesses that either have a great manager or can prosper even under poor management is crucial.

Investing out of pity for founders rarely yields returns; focus on strong, capable founders instead.

Most investments won't succeed, and it's easy to overthink and miss good opportunities; I try not to let past failures cloud my judgment.

Even if a startup doesn't become a billion-dollar company, I find comfort in knowing I'm helping founders take a shot at their dreams.

I was inspired by innovators like Elon Musk, which led me to pursue investing as an angel investor, focusing on companies that can impact millions of lives.
