Being a startup founder, CEO, and VC are all on the continuum of bringing big ideas to life. As a founder and CEO, I was focused on bringing one big idea to life at scale. As a VC, we collaborate with founders to become force multipliers bringing many ideas to scale simultaneously. It's incredibly rewarding to see those collective efforts shape entire industries.”
