As a founder, I benefited most from investors who went beyond providing capital. They mentored me, guided me through difficult decisions and became true partners in my entrepreneurial journey.
This founder-to-funder transition isn't unique to me - I'm seeing a growing number of entrepreneurs take their hard-earned experience and apply it to venture capital.
Successful founder VCs have investment success rates that are 6.5 percentage points higher than professional VCs. Founder-turned-investors bring something to the table that isn't common in the VC world: operational knowledge.
Both founders-to-investors and founders-for-hire are transforming how startups are funded and nurtured, and I believe it will have a profound impact on the startup ecosystem for years to come.
