1/ON WORKING FOR ME: I have a ton of folks asking to do free internships

We don't do them cause I hate short-term relationships

My joy has been developing talent, so we always have a half-dozen, entry-level positions available @launch

*BUT* raises are 10-20% for survivors...

2/folks who start on this path go from $50k to $60k to $75k to $90k to $120k over 5 years--with zero experience in venture capital, no business degree, & no Ivy league pedigree

We look for:

--hustle
--optimism
--ownership
--ability to learn new skills quickly
--focus

3/We look for folks who are doing stuff in the world

a blog, youtube channel, side hustle--folks who build stuff, tinker, & learn skills constantly

We don't care about degrees we care about how you've demonstrated your skills in the world already

4/I wake up in the morning and look at the work being produced by this raw talent that I found and developed and I feel really good about myself

It gives the work meaning

There is almost nothing more rewarding to me than the feeling of developing talent

questions?

Yes, I know that Netflix says hire the best folks & pay top dollar--awesome for them

For me, I like to hire a bunch of emerging talent, watch them develop, & don't mind the time it takes because it develops loyalty

I love scouting startups & team members before anyone else
