I am passionate about venture because..
it draws upon and feeds all aspects of my personality. Working with brilliant, committed founders who seem to have the ability to bend reality to their desired outcomes is a great way to build a career where you spend time on things that matter and make a difference.
The types of founders who impress me most are..
those who have balanced IQ and EQ and can keep the larger vision and context constantly in the foreground.
The words I’d choose to describe why Bek is different are..
that we are experienced in highly-concentrated form - never diluted.
If I wasn’t in venture, I’d be..
working as a backcountry ski guide.
The best advice I ever received was..
learning the difference between price and value, something that has guided me in my venture investments.
If I could have a superpower, it would be..
to empathize with parties whose choices are against their own incentives. I struggle with this one.
The most unexpected thing about being in venture is..
the importance of decision-making in the absence of sufficient data.
