Short monologue (single speaker) from a Precursor Ventures video about the challenge of discovering first-time founders and staying relevant as a VC. The speaker emphasizes worry that great founders who fit the fund's thesis may be missed because they don't know the firm or its network, highlighting outreach and information access as central issues.

For me, it's really motivating to remember. You know, there's a bunch of people who are starting companies for the first time. Where do they go to get information about who they should talk to? I wake up every day saying my biggest fear is there's an amazing founder who's building an incredible company that's in our thesis, who simply doesn't know me and doesn't know anybody in our network. And what if we don't see that person purely because they don't know to act?
