A solo venture capitalist describes the role as a perpetual education. Every founder conversation teaches technical, business, and psychological insights. The real draw is working daily with brilliant, ambitious people with high EQ and IQ.
I want to go like a little bit deeper into what are kind of like some of the exciting parts and maybe not so exciting parts about being a solo capitalist.
Yeah, I'll start off with the exciting part. So I love being a student, so I take every opportunity with founders to just learn as much as possible. And I say student in a really broad sense, like beyond just learning new technical concepts and how to approach business in an effective way, but also psychological learning too. I just learned so much about other people and their point of view and perspectives, and that, that unlocks a lot in me just to have these mirrors throughout the day. So that's really exciting. I love that. That brings me just tremendous joy to interact with some of the most brilliant, high EQ, high IQ, highly ambitious, highly visionary people on the planet. Like, what other jobs really afford that? I don't really know. Like, it's for me, I feel like the path has to be venture for how much benefits are derived in this role. I mean, there's like endless things that I love about this job.
