But when I was working as a reporter in 2007, I covered the purchase of a local ski resort in Montana by business mogul Bill Foley. We’d never hired anyone. Why did they abandon them?

I became a VC 12 years ago in 2007 when the pace of deals was much slower. I had just left Salesforce.com where I was VP, Products, after they had acquired my second startup. It proved to be fortuitous because it allowed me the time & space I needed to get to know tons of founders and VCs and to hone my craft.
