I didn't want to be limited by the ability to invest in companies.

So at one point, Lightspeed invited me to be a scout for them.

I put half my scout fund into the seed round of Rippling.

So that worked out well.

I was working a job at Core Innovation Capital.

I had some money there and did some angel checks in tandem to everything.

But yes, you could literally bootstrap a venture capital firm out of bankruptcy in Silicon Valley.

That was one of the situations in life where I was actually quite fortunate, where there was a lot of demand for what I wanted to do.

I set a price that I thought was fair.

And at the time, the price seemed high for me.

In retrospect, it seems low for them.

I think those are the best deals in the world where everyone's happy.

I was happy to get the deal up front and they're happy they made that deal at the end.
