I have resorted to speaking like Yoda to get you to swallow something. Ingest, engulf and put inside of you a piece of wisdom my mentor gave me; Cross the Chasm from higher ground so you don’t need chasm “escape velocity“.
Were you crying when you watched Episode III for the 11th time!? Cry with me:
I cry for Anakin. Why won’t Anakin Skywalker fight his mentor from a higher ground position that is an advantage!?
Cross the Chasm FROM THE RIGHT

you know you’ve developed a bad reputation as a VC when people’s response is “I expect them to fuck over everyone involved.”

@shaig People don’t mentor b/c of financial incentive.
