As investors, advisors, and mentors who genuinely want to enrich the entrepreneurial ecosystem, our ongoing challenge is to strategically steward capital and people in a way that the resulting venture (business, fund, organization) is:

• Aligned with people’s best interests and talents.

• Supported by the right people, including investors, employees, teams and other key stakeholders.

• Grown at the right pace and at the right time.

• Structured with the best chance to succeed and scale.

In this post, I share some of my perspectives and thoughts. I also look forward to hearing your thoughts and questions and learning from your experiences too.
