In 1972 the Hillman Family Office invested $4M into Kleiner Perkins first $8M fund.
KP I invested in 17 companies. Genentech, Tandem Computers, Applied Materials etc.
The fund returned $345M to its investors.
The Hillmans were very happy LPs. ๐
I think mentors are one of the most needle moving element you can have:
Choose them wisely.
Have different mentors for different aspects of life.
Understand all advice is rooted in past experience.
Appreciate they are giving you their time cos they believe in you. ๐
