Playing the long game and leading with value often returns more. Sandy Kory, early in his investing career brought high-quality deals to investors in his network without charging economics. This helped him establish trust, which he was able to tap into while raising Fund I.

Amazing conversation with Maddy Alcala from gooten on this week's episode of The Fundraising Debrief. It's been great to dive deep into fundraising strategy and explore the tradeoffs between in-person and remote fundraising.

VC is a mainstream industry now. No longer a cottage business of a handful of small collections of partners in Menlo Park, it is transforming in a parallel path that its cousins in private equity, hedge funds, investing banking, all went through. With that come growing pains:

A life lesson I wish I learned earlier: Every single thing you do today is something that your 90-year-old self will wish they could go back and do. The good old days are happening right now.

Do hard things. Because thereโ€™s nothing better than a hard-earned win. The pain. The struggle. The resilience. The grit. And then, the reward. The joy of knowing that you paid the cost of entry for the thing you wanted to achieve. Hard things are good for the soul.
