Youthful vigor

A friend of mine that works for a fund invited me to speak to their intern class today. It was a nice change up from my day to day. I spent an hour and half speaking about my career path, Secfi and life in general.

The best part about the day was that I got to meet six incredibly talented, smart and motivated individuals. My first impression was that this group is impressive. They asked lots of tough and great questions. They knew a lot about the startup and investing world.

I was in a much different mindset when I was 21 years old and wish I was as mature and motivated back then as this group.

We haven’t hired someone from out of college in awhile but it reminded me that curiosity and vigor may make up for the inexperience. Perhaps we will be dipping back in the pool and looking for that youthful vigor sometime soon.
