This all tracks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the things that makes me unique as a VC is that I have a real passion for ecosystem development and community, and I love to publish and speak about where I think the future trends are going. This gives me an edge to see more and to help the companies that we&#8217;ve invested in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I feel like my entire career has culminated in this career role. I can imagine myself being a VC for the rest of my career, but we will see what unfolds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&#8217;s more details on our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.blitzscalingvc.com\/post\/the-blitzscalability-scorecard-identifying-future-market-winners\">investment thesis<\/a>.
