Hello, I'm Taylor. I'm an early-stage VC at kbs+ Ventures and a professional business photographer at Narratively. I love experiments, projects, big ideas, little adventures, and common sense. This blog is a mixture of writing and photography, as well as curated greatness from around the web. People seem to like it. See the archives here.
"… fund management teams with more task-specific human capital, as measured by more managers having past experience as venture capitalists and by more managers having past experience as executives at start-up companies, manage funds with greater fractions of portfolio company exits. I also find that fund management teams with more industry-specific human capital in strategy and management consulting and, to a lesser extent, engineering and non-venture finance manage funds with greater fractions of portfolio company exits. Perhaps counter-intuitively, I find that fund management teams that have more general human capital in business administration, as measured by more managers having MBAs, manage funds with lower fractions of portfolio company exits."
