    Made a small investment into a diaper co making the world’s first 100% degradable product with 0% chemical and plastic. Finally got to see and touch the product today and it gave me this crazy fulfilling feeling though I wasn’t the founder. Truly envy you all consumer investors!

    Pleasure to join @chetanp @zck @imlucasrocha @NatSandman @shawnxu for a cross generation VC dinner. The biggest takeaway from dinner- there’s really no secret associate at @benchmark 😆 And thanks to @zck for the @vcstarterkit wristband. I am sure this will help me be a better VC

    A founder friend recently asked me for advice on whether he should get his team acquired or pivot away the current idea to continue his current fundraise. His main product has decent traction but it's in a space that doesn't resonate with most investors (hence (1/5)

    Contrary to popular belief, I think the best feeling I got from being a VC is when founders prove me wrong. This universe is so full of wonder, and literally, anything can happen and can be made happen. And there is an indefinite number of paths to success. I really love it!
