These reflections are amazing esp. #7, #8, and #18. I used to work as a junior VC earlier and often thought about how luck plays a disproportionate role at a seed-VC and sometimes self-fulfilling prophesies come true. On #17, imho, it's to get new ideas (and make sure you don't miss the "trends") and to get deal-flow (one VC's pass is another VC's golden ticket) and I think it's a worthy exercise if you're able to not give in to the consensus bias.
Thanks for sharing Kaushik. I enjoyed reading this as I would love to be a VC one day. It felt good to see point 16, given that i had only remotely connected sales(what i currently do) with a VC journey. Might you have any resources that could help me explore this connection more?
