I hate that when founders are like, if only this investor would give me money, then I would make it my full time job. It's one of the biggest downsides of the VC industry as exists right now. We're just trying to make money for 10 years before I raised my first venture capital dollar. And so I know why my advice is controversial to people. But at the same time, it's like also investors want to invest in things where they're like, this guy's going to do it with or without me totally. Like go find a way to make money in this world and not don't wait for investors to give you permission to start a business.
