Key Quotes:
“As a venture investor, you really get paid to do two things. You get paid to be intellectually curious, and you get paid to sell money, which is a weird thing to do. It's a weird phrasing, but that's kind of what you do. ost competitive deals, you're selling, right?” So you get paid to learn and build ideas and theses, and then sell money.” - Kyle Nakatsuji
“When you start learning about something, you rapidly climb up and you think you know a ton about it. And, then the more time you actually spend with a topic, you kind of fall off this cliff of stupidity.” - Kyle Nakatsuji
“It’s not that these carriers don't see the opportunity, or they don't want to help...But, the opportunity has to be of a certain size to warrant the kind of investment, to turn a ship that big...And, with some with newer carriers like us, we're just more free to experiment. There's much lower overhead to do interesting and innovative things with our partners.” - Kyle Nakatsuji
