NOTE

Embrace Strategy and Learn from Critique

Clearly articulate your strategy and invite critique to enhance your understanding and improve it. It's essential to value investor alignment with your philosophy; those who don't share your values are not ideal partners. Additionally, acknowledge that the scale of your fund determines your strategy, as substantial exits are crucial to achieving high returns. Aiming for a significant portion of investments upfront, typically 70%, with only 30% reserved, is advisable, supported by systematic principles rather than mere tradition. This approach helps ensure a more calculated and effective investment strategy.
