Most days I love what I do, but some days are rough; filled with tough decisions (good ones and bad ones) that are often time sensitive in nature, and involve conflicting interests.

The most difficult part however is that as an investor I can’t really talk about or share details with anyone without violating portfolio company or fund confidentiality.

I hate it when people ask me how things are going and all I can do is give them a vacuous response. Most of the time I can’t really talk about anything that isn’t already announced or publicly known. And that most definitely means that I cannot talk about what’s at the top of my mind.

I’m not very good at making up stuff, so if I ever give you a response that feels empty, know that it’s not because of you, but a function of trying to do right by the founders, portfolio companies, and LPs.
