“In August 2007, our fund lost a lot of value very quickly, and we didn’t know why. It was a period where we had to face the fears of maybe losing the company, and losing money for investors. We learned a lot from pulling through that experience.”

“What I did was nothing special—I took a chance and worked hard.”

“Talking to investors is always somewhat awkward. You want to sound very smart, but you can’t really say anything to reveal what your strategy is. So you have to use a lot of words to make you sound really sophisticated. And I was terrible at that.”
