When I first started investing, I dreamed of seeing one of my companies on a billboard in Times Square. I thought it would take 10 years. Turns out, it only took 2.
Micro1, a startup I invested in last year, was just featured on the Nasdaq billboard in Times Square! This is a dream come true for me, founder Ali Ansari, and the whole Micro1 team.
Micro1 is the best way to find engineers. They use AI and humans to find the top 1% of engineers, upskill them in using AI tools, and deliver them to you.
Since I invested last summer, I've watched the team work like crazy, shipping product faster than I've ever seen.
Building an early stage startup usually means toiling in obscurity. The wider world hasn't heard of you, and it's hard to make people care about what you're working on.
Investing in early stage companies isn't much different.
So when your work is recognized, it feels really good! And though we may be a long way from the finish line, we should stop and enjoy the moment.
What I learned from this experience is that your dreams can come true. And they can come true a lot faster than you think.
You can't control when it happens. All you can control is the work you put in.
But if you give it your best for long enough, you'll start to see results!
The next time Micro1 and Nasdaq team up, it might be for an IPO!
