It's like, yeah, you lost your own money on something that, you know, typically most people just lose other people's money on.
Looking back on it, that was cool.
That was the epitome of my resilience journey.
I got knocked as hard on my ass as I possibly could have and was humbled as much as somebody possibly could have been and had to start completely from scratch once again.
And then I ended up with an entry-level job at a small venture capital firm.
That's where I met my partner today, Alex Davidoff.
He was a partner at Core Innovation Capital.
Within a few months of being at Core, it became pretty obvious to me that FinTech Series A impact-ish investing wasn't what I wanted to spend my career doing, even though I have a ton of respect for Ariane and the mission that that firm is on.
And they've actually done phenomenally well with returns.
They actually let the seed round the ripple.
I ultimately wanted to figure out how to become a generalist seed stage investor.
And the reason I focused on seed stage was because that was the only place where I thought I could access enough capital to the point where I mattered.
Any later stage, there's no amount of capital that I thought I could access that would actually make me relevant conversation in those places.
So that's why seed was the obvious starting point for me.
And then I needed to find a way to build a track record that didn't involve working at a firm for a decade until I got serious check writing ability or raising my own fund because who would give me a fund at that point in life?
And that's when I learned about AngelList.
What's behind the name Abstract?
A couple of things.
One, the definition of abstract is existing in concept, but not reality.
And that's pretty synonymous with seed stage companies.
