As a fuunder, mentor and venture capital investor, I support young entrepreneurs for their entire start-up journey. I love big ideas and being able to establish leaders in a new field that isn?t already saturated with a flock of me-too companies. If you?re going into a market or a region where others got there first, you can?t be just a little better. To be a leader, you have to be at least ten times better. Better yet is charting new territory. Then you get to define a space, make something out of nothing and define leadership. I spent my entrepreneurial career building travel, specialty/targeted consumer direct commerce and consumer fintech businesses before starting General Catalyst with my friend David Fialkow. That experience has served me well in helping entrepreneurs building really new and next-generation consumer products and services.
