"small tip for anyone interviewing in venture: when asked about your network dont just list impressive people you know(ish) and would call on a hot deal. be prepared to point to examples of when you were called by said impressive people. and why they called you. the value is the ladder. too many focus on the former. thats the network top firms are looking for. one that goes both ways"

"1/ trend 1: the "builder's advantage" is table stakes now. with capital everywhere VCs who've shipped at startups & scaleups (like the ex-founders and PMs dominating this list) sniff out execution pitfalls that pure financiers miss. this isn't hype it's why operator-VCs are closing highly competitive deals + delivering outsized post-investment ops support. @pmarca has long preached: back those whove lived the chaos"
