Talk to me about

• Growth hacks, particularly in product and nonobvious channels

• Fundraising, having had the experience on both the founder and VC sides

• Global tech developments/trends. [A third of our investments are outside the US (e.g. LatAm, Africa, MENA, Southeast Asia, etc)]

I want to talk to you about

• We are currently fundraising for our seventh fund and are looking to selectively add some new LPs. Would either love introductions to LPs you’re excited about and/or trade stories on the fundraising process

• I mostly want to pay it forward and share thoughts/experiences as a fellow founder (and now, investor)!
