The decision to invest BIG, especially with propreitory capital, is like creating that perfect cocktail :
Loads of foresight, a strong shot of data, a squeeze of gut call and a dash of courage!

Unpopular opinion
While recruiting for your VC fund, if a candidate's resume misses key details like past employment for a couple of years, and if we end up hiring them - will they miss out stuff while evaluating deals?

You will continue to suffer if you have an emotional reaction to everything that is said to you. True power is sitting back and observing things with logic. If words control you that means everyone else can control you. Breathe and allow things to pass.

A startup founder shared today that he felt brutally "grilled" by a funds GP about a company HE has been building, HE has been bootstrapping and a HE has absolute command over.
Skepticism is legit - Insulting is not.

Yest match reflected "The Power Law",except that it was reverse for 🇮🇳
India won the league matches with a flawless 10-0, and lost the one that mattered the most.
Much like investors who invest in 10 and end up winning 1, which,takes care of the other 9 which tank.The irony!
Forcing myself to sit through the loss.
Hopefully it helps with the recovery. As raw as it can get 🤷🏻♂️
OZs clearly deserved to win!
Well fought 🇮🇳 ⁃ so so proud of you, irrespective!

- your experience encompasses heading college activities and
- last 2 years were spent in 6 internship roles of 3 months each.
@ravihanda I am quite appalled with your bias. Especially the punch line at the end. Selling is fundamental to any successful organization, being bad at it isn't the right theory to diss the job itself. Even negotiating a salary at an interview, is selling right ?
