What Is One of Your Favorite Parts About Being A Venture Fund Manager? #shorts

My favorite moment was like, I had such an informal relationship with the founder and we, we would text so much, but I remember he called me at like 3 o'clock in the morning before the meeting with the lead investor that he wanted to lead the round, his Series A, and he was like having a full-blown panic attack. And we kind of just chatted him through it and calmed him down, and he ended up absolutely crushing that meeting. And the investor came in later that day. And gave him a term sheet. But for me and Paige, it was like one of those things where forming the informal relationship, if we hadn't done that with that founder, that would've never happened. Like that phone call, that moment that I could share the joy of him raising a Series A with him. I think that's probably the best part of venture is like when the founders not only like have conviction in the idea that they're doing, but like the belief in themselves that they can do it.
