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.

Having been a founder myself helps me as an investor because I understand the challenges and can identify kindred spirits among entrepreneurs.

We prioritize building a strong co-founder relationship, as it sets the foundation for our team's culture and success.

The experience of Founders is critical in determining the success of a startup, as they can adapt and pivot effectively based on their excitement and suitability for the idea.

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

We encourage our team to invest in opportunities that show promise, even if they come with risks, as this can lead to significant breakthroughs. In venture capital, the key to success is identifying the next big thing early and investing heavily, rather than focusing on win rates or percentage returns.

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.

Our investment terms were designed to be founder-friendly, avoiding the typical demands investors make, which reflects our commitment to supporting founders' best interests.

I focus on seed and pre-seed investments to quickly support companies that may never need to raise money again, similar to successful self-funded gaming companies.
