Too Long; Didn't Read
A note on what follows: As I take what’s been a five-year night-job <a href="https://medium.com/@ianrountree/announcing-cantos-ventures-ffede6bf365a#.n9u1ezvdn" target="_blank">full-time</a> I’m putting pen to pixel in an attempt to articulate my lens on early-stage investing. I call this framework my own, though in truth it’s a synthesis of counsel from wise predecessors, observation of fantastic (and not-so-fantastic) entrepreneurs, industry literature (more history than blogs), personal experience — including more mis-steps than I would like to admit — and a splash of my own techno-optimism.
