There are some venture capitalists who consider themselves “entrepreneurial VCs” because they identify with and approach investing from an entrepreneur perspective. Others are actually former entrepreneurs who join a venture fund and call themselves a VC/entrepreneur because they once walked in the shoes of an entrepreneur.
And there is another unique breed: One-time entrepreneurs who never invested in startups professionally, but who decide to start a fund as a new venture — a truly entrepreneur VC. I am one of them.
