Emily Herrera, a Night Ventures investor, says her Gemini sign shapes how she invests. She looks for niche problems other VCs dismiss, digs into the community dynamics first, and forms opinions only after understanding the scene.
As a Gemini, how do you think your star sign reflects in your investing? So as a Gemini, I used to be a journalist throughout college and I basically just have always been really interested in stories. I get really lost in stories. Yeah, I think I'm really interested in timelines. I'm interested in just like networks. I'm interested in just how people interact. That's, that's like very fundamental to a Gemini is like how human beings are talking and interacting and the different flavors. And I think they're very respectful of like niche communities. It's very much so like a very observational kind of star sign. So I think I'm a more observational VC. Mm-hmm. Like if someone comes to me and presents a really niche kind of problem, I'm probably not gonna off the bat say this is a stupid idea or a bad idea or a bad market or a bad problem. Mm-hmm. I'm probably just gonna go and investigate that scene more.
