Is the next calling after your business, should you go raise a fund? Because in 2020 to like 2022, everyone was becoming a VC, everyone was raising a fund. So is that the right move for everybody?
I think most people have it skewed. A lot of these guys don't start a fund after they're an entrepreneur or they're done being entrepreneur. They were investing a lot while they were entrepreneur. So they have a track record and then they go and raise a fund. People oversimplify it. Everyone starts doing it as if it's easy. It's not.
