Yesterday, 11 months after I started, I got the final commit for fund 1 I raised 525k in 2 days. I thought I was made. 6 mo later, on Oct 1, I’d only signed 1.7m Fund returns helped, but the only change I made was to unapologetically be me. Being authentic pays, it’s just hard.

Most iconic moment was definitely when I was at the St Regis w a very nice billionaire I met on LinkedIm was like “I’m in for 100k” and I texted @AlexKolicich crying that I was never raising the fund & he was like “did you ask him for $1m”. Turns out you can just ask for things😭
