Ankur Nagpal (@ankurnagpal) recently sold Carry and became a GP at USVC, a public markets fund led by Naval. What I always loved about Ankur is his honesty: from first-time founders figuring out whether to raise, to seasoned operators thinking about what comes after the exit, Ankur makes the messy, emotional side of building companies. We cover - Why most people should never raise venture capital - The three things he looks for in founders (and why the third one is controversial) - From reading Losing My Virginity at 13 to wanting to buy a sports team and put himself on the roster - SO much more!
