Key Takeaways: 



  • Identify the brightest people in the world first, then build infrastructure to support them for their entire life

  • Identify LPs who believe in you emotionally before they believe in your model (not people in wealth preservation mode)

  • Price compression has not fully met seed stage, but it is likely coming and will likely land south of 20mm post at the seed stage

  • If you are starting a c company u need to have an edge and clarity of thought around why you are the perfect person to build it
