I love how a hardtech VC will tell you that fully intend to return the fund in a decade
and you look at their portfolio and it’s 2 companies working on fusion, 1 trying to mine helium 3, and six different companies trying to build space factories

My theory on why breakfast meetups are superior - they’re a force multiplier to your day.
You get up, get coffee, talk to some people and then you’re energized for the rest of your day
Other events can interrupt the flow of your day or distract you - a breakfast meet up
When you're a new founder, you're going to get a LOT of invitations to dinners, meetups, conferences, events, etc.
Say no to most of them.
Here's why...
