This blog will be a reflection of Karlin Ventures’ dynamic growth over time, but also of my personal development as a fairly new venture capitalist.

Although I spent some time as an investment professional at Innovation Endeavors, I never quite got the entire experience until I started Karlin Ventures 1.5 years ago. This last year and a half has been an insightful process, during which I’ve started to understand what it takes to do my job well. I’m not there yet by any measure, but at least I have a sense of what I have to do.

I wanted to start these posts to share with you my journey of becoming a better VC. Whether it’s tips or tricks that we learn along the way, our goal is to share insight and opinions Karlin Ventures has on the venture industry and investment trends.

Arteen, my co-worker and I, will be the main writers of this blog. Our hope is that these posts will help fellow VCs and entrepreneurs become more successful in building their businesses, and of course, in their own journeys in becoming better VCs.
