@viraj.ala: Some people wait until it feels safe to take the leap. Puneet was taught the opposite.. 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗼𝗻𝗹𝘆 𝗮 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻 𝘄𝗵𝗼 𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗸𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗹𝘆 𝗳𝗿𝗲𝗲. His lesson? No one likes a complainer. Puneet. Stanford, class of 1997. A partner at True Ventures. Four to five hundred companies backed. Early checks into Fitbit, Peloton, Duo, HashiCorp, and Ring. Worth tens of billions today. But ask what he is proudest of, and he will not point to the exits. His father immigrated from India in 1969. The first in the family to ever board a plane. Eight dollars in his pocket and no way back. What he passed down wasn't money. It was optimism. They say you have to sacrifice your family to get ahead. He feels sorry for the people who believe that. Twenty years married, and still saying let's go. Because family is the one thing you actually take to the grave.
