be immersed in networks of early day founders interested in our thesis areas.

be someone those founders want to share ideas with.

have great judgement of people and have interesting and compelling points of view.

be human with other humans and an organizer of great people together.

Thomas Merton: “As long as we are on earth, the love that unites us will bring us suffering by our very contact with one another, because this love is a resetting of a body of broken bones. Even saints cannot live with saints on this earth without some anguish, without some pain at the differences that come between them. There are two things which men can do about the pain of disunion with other men. They can love or they can hate. Love, by its acceptance of the pain of reunion, begins to heal all wounds.”

Steve Jobs: “Creativity is just connecting things. When you ask creative people how they did something, they feel a little guilty because they didn’t really do it, they just saw something. It seemed obvious to them after a while. They are able to connect experiences they’ve had and synthesize new things. And the reason they are able to do that is that they’ve had more experiences or they have thought more about their experiences than other people. A lot of people in [the tech] industry haven’t had very diverse experiences. So they don’t have enough dots to connect, and end up with very linear solutions without a broad perspective on the problem. The broader one’s understanding of the human experience, the better design we will have."
