I went a slightly different route with similar reasoning: - Recognized I'm increasingly helping new founders at an advisory level (tech around GPU/graph/cyber/fraud/data, business around b2b/go-to-market/fundraising), and am generally happy to help new founders with 1-2 calls, but limited time... - Lucky enough to have some personal liquidity, where good to have X% be volatile, and some time to leverage my areas of market insights (e.g., light advisory for VCs/enterprises/...)... - ... so I started lightly investing in early stage funds I like + offer to help the funds with a bit of dealflow + help the portfolio founders with light advisory. Wider portfolio, better due diligence, and I can provided more targeted help where everyone benefits.
