Transitioning from an operating role to VC is exciting for me. At Khoros (fka Spredfast) I met with hundreds of entrepreneurs about potentially selling their company. At S3 Ventures, I’ll continue to engage with entrepreneurs, but now our conversations will be focused on growing their business — rather than exiting. Here’s why I’m thrilled to get started in VC. — It’s only my first week at the new firm, and I have a lot to learn. Since Austin is still in stay-at-home mode, I’ve traded the typical first week questions like “where’s the bathroom?” for “where can I find that Zoom background?”.
