I always enjoy your life story blogs.

Can you elaborate on finding a woman during your plane travel? I've only been able to connect very few times b/c it still seems like a inappropriate place to pick up girls

That was a good read Thanks for sharing! For me, these are the 3 biggest reasons why you'll end up okay:

3.
Glad those times are past now.


2.
Then I just go and make a pot of chili, curl up with a book and Pils and bowl and it's all okay.


1.

I look forward to your next update

Frankly, if you really do want to be anything in VC, don't join as an associate. You'll just be a grunt, and there's rarely any paths to partner in the same firm. All my friends who are VC associates (even at tier 1 firms) tell me that it's just a 2 year program where you're expected to leave afterwards.

Take an operating role at a high growth startup somewhere, pray that the rocketship actually takes off, and join as a partner right off the bat.

edit: I guess you could absolutely knock it out of the park as an associate like Chetan @ NEA and make it to partner, but by all accounts this is incredibly rare.


hahaha. I talked to a guy at Accel who went from Asso to Partner, and he basically said it would be easier to do that in growth cap than early-stage.

It's hard to take the startup role out of b-school due to debt and cashflow issues. I really wish there was some fund willing to refinance bschool debt with startup equity.


Hmm I guess it's easier to "be right" about your investment decisions at a Growth cap firm than a Seed or A round firm and that would translate to your promotion chances.

I was briefly at bschool before dropping out to start a company, so I know first hand that the debt can be a tough thing to balance with wanting to pursue your best interest matches immediately. I guess VC associate is a good way to have a solid paycheck with a relatively cushy work life balance that sets you up for a pretty smooth transition to companies in a variety of stages of growth.


Interesting - what type of product/market are you trying to address? Feel free to PM me if desired.

Omg hi guys HAHAHHA saw this blog, and was reminded about my lifting logs that I never updated. Just updated them!

Anyway what's up man. I'm still studying and shit, pursuing a business course as of now. If you have any associates in Singapore that's looking for an intern hmu, or if you can offer any help at all too that'd be great.

In Beijing you were still hung up on "that one ex" and told me you would have married her had she let you. A day or two later you stepped on that plane and met Qinghua. Why now the hesitation about kids?

She wants kids. She wants two, maybe three - and a dog. This is what scares me the most. I've literally just gotten my own life on track and it was hard as fuck. I am NOT ready to put my hand on the till to guide some kid's life over the next fifteen, twenty years. About all I know is that they'll need to know how to code, to sell, to lead, and to think.

It's okay to feel this way! I hope if I yell it loud enough, you'll believe me!

Good read. Just wanted to say I like how articulated you are. I'm trying to improve my ability to articulate my thoughts like this atm.
