I think this was the first interview with someone working at a big VC fund early in their career I could find on KZbin. Thanks for hosting this and to your guest for being open. Much more relevant/grounded conversation than the “big talk” from partners.

Luv your videos! Uber helpful! Your questions are spot on helpful and informative. I’m getting ready to re-enter investment banking after taking a detour via structure financing thanks for all the great advice!
