You know you're in VC when... OPEX becomes a legitimate criterion for deciding to get into a relationship.

Don’t build your startups for VC. Build it for your customer. Simple advice. Often overlooked.

As a third culture kid, I struggle with the personal brand thing. It was a long journey to get comfortable not fitting into one box, only to be told to figure out which one I need to get back into 😅

+ my personal bias, that the self congratulatory/ speaking for the sake of speaking culture is v prolific in the VC community - not value additive + makes you seem disingenuous as a person

some of the most valuable advice I received as an investor is that "its not about you" - if a VC speaks about themselves all the time - be wary

Some personal news 😄🇵🇰 Made my first investment in Pakistan, my country of birth, and a place I called home from the ages of 10 to 13. Feels special. This also marks @kleinerperkins first investment in Pakistan. We are thrilled to announce our investment in @tajir_app_pk 👇🏽

Attracting and retaining talent is the WHOLE game. There is not ONE founder I have met in the region that this is not an issue for. Why aren't we talking about building a corporate culture early thats focused on your team being able to build their own dreams?
