the lower the cash comp over the first four years, the higher the likelihood of success.
I’m not sure why.

There are many ways you can invest in entrepreneurs.
Capital is just one. Here are others:
Intros. Expertise. Feedback. Revenue. Recruiting.
Don't let a lack of capital stop you from helping a founder bring their vision to life.
Remember, it takes a village to raise a startup.
I can't stop looking at this photo taken by @karenwarrenHC at Houston protests. Wow. Wow. What a moment captured. That's the Houston police chief talking with a protestor who was crying & upset. @HoustonChron photographers are the best of the best.
