And I really did two types of investments for my third fund.
I did these like 110K at 2.2 style investments.
I was buying like 5% of the company for 100K.
And then the second one, second type of investment I made was like reserve style investments where like I put in 15% of the committed capital of my third fund into owner at the series A, which was a great investment because it's now a unicorn.
But I realized that the opportunity cost of reserves is huge.
That is like 20 pre-seeds and that's,
So I realized that the value creation on the pre-seed side is so high that I should spend all of my time doing these like super first believer style checks.
And so for my fourth fund, I have no reserves.
The average entry price across the entire fund so far six months in is 5 million evaluation.
And
I think that that's really the way to go.
You either want to be really big platform like Thrive or A16Z and kind of double down when things are obvious, or you want to be kind of Bay of Incorporation in the trenches.
But there's no real room in between in this market.
And so that's why I set the strategy I have set.
I could do a lot better job.
I say this on a podcast that is about one decision a year, but I get, like most of us, I get caught up in the weeds every day.
And so I try and take a step back and I ask all the entrepreneurs I back and when I interview them, I say, what are your goals next three months, six months, one year?
And so I try and do this for myself.
I try and set quarterly goals, both in terms of business and in terms of life as well.
And I think having intentionality around one's goals is really good.
