The Twenty Minute VC (20VC): Venture Capital | Startup Funding | The Pitch
20VC: Raising $500M To Compete in the Race for AGI | Will Scaling Laws Continue: Is Access to Compute Everything | Will Nvidia Continue To Dominate | The Biggest Bottlenecks in the Race for AGI with Eiso Kant, CTO @ Poolside

I did. I was lucky. I went through it in my early 20s. I got a lot of stuff. And then I got rid of all of it. For me, the sheer realization is that it's the journey with the people. The outcomes that we want to see in the world, they're part of the obsession. If you can see a future that looks like one that ends up being this incredible future, you want to build it.

But that moment, once you reach that, which will always be an ever moving goal, is not the interesting moment. The interesting moment is every single day with the people. And I think for me, I just learned more and more over the years is that I love people and I love the people I work with on my team. I think in every single person, there's something incredible.

We're in a race. If we stumble, we put our foot off the gas pedal, we lose. And I think in any race, there's 101 places you can stumble. We don't get the luxury of stumbling on the capabilities race or to go to market race. We have to be excellent in both. If we make a misstep on either of those, we can fall behind. And if we fall too much behind, we're no longer in the race and we don't matter.

I'm surprised how I usually don't know what motivates you. And people ask about the business, they ask about the outcomes, they ask about the future you see. Very, very few people ask you about your why. And I think that's probably the most important question.
