To succeed you need to do 3 things: take risks, work hard and get lucky
In bull markets the liquidity of crypto is a benefit. In bad times, the illiquidity of traditional venture investments are preferred;)

"Dealflow" is a vanity metric for VCs. The challenge (and art) is cultivating a sense for which referral sources are high value in a market where feedback can lag by years or decades.
Counterintuitively, in my experience, more dealflow does not necessarily yield better investments / returns. There seems to be a diminishing return with too much volume and networks that are large, but shallow. There's probably an ideal spot on this curve, but its hard to place…

nail it, then scale it. trying to build for scale before it’s nailed is bound to fail.
observed: the VCs I respect spend most of their time helping their companies that are struggling (or in specific areas of opportunity). while less strong investors try to make the most change and incessantly “help” the thriving companies and founders that need it the least. 🤷♂️
