GM, Propulsion - building a modern way for impact lenders to put their capital to better faster use

[andrew hong @andrwhong]

Had a fun conversation with a founder friend today about how the world favours the bold - especially in Venture.

High risk = high return can be applied everywhere. Even to content creation!

Putting yourself out there to post, build, and invent gets the most reward 👊👊

@_dominiclau @mattybcohen Thanks for sharing your thoughts @_dominiclau! I was speaking with an entrepreneur the other day and he was saying that he won’t take investors’ money to ‘keep the lights’ on. He only wants to get capital to really go on building value - i found this so inspiring!

Early career years are painful.

You feel like an idiot 98% of the time - lost, confused and insecure.

I wish I had a cheat sheet of principles for my first job.

So I put one together.

Here are 20 things about building a career I wish I knew sooner:
