Teamwork, teamwork. That’s what counts.
We all remember this cry from our youth on the value of working together. We also love the age-old saying: “There is no ‘I’ in teamwork.”
Adages like these reinforce the value of doing great tasks together. This can be winning the big game, or investing in early stage FinTech.
In this issue, you’ll find interviews with a few advisory board members that we hope you’ll enjoy. We will do others over time. We focus this issue on teamwork.

I have seen those leaders step up to provide insight during due diligence activities for start-ups. They have helped our portfolio companies gain insights and new business. They provide valued feedback to the four partners — always with a focus on getting returns for our investors.

Mentorship. I have been fortunate to have had mentors throughout my career and personal life. I have been and I am a mentor to others.

The mentor who has had the greatest impact on my life was a New York City Firefighter. He never worked on Wall Street, he did not go to college, and to be honest, he was not a stellar high school student either. He spoke very few words during our mentorship. He has always been a man of action and very few words.
