Episode notes

Knowing your lane, I think kind of 2021, nobody had a lane, but I do think that people that stayed in the lane, that's going to stand out. If you're good at early stage, that's where you should be focused,. not leading a series B, you're worrying about parada even in a B. And so I think it's just the discipline, patience and thoughtfulness. We have Ali Partovian or Portfolio Neo who has been so thoughtful. Everything has been patient, methodical and slow to build to the North Star.
