Xfund — February 8, 2022
After introducing themselves and their VC firm, Xfund's Patrick and Jadyn dove into how they evaluate founders and the benefits of working in VC. Patrick and Jadyn search for founders who have lived through the problem their startup solves, are persistent during challenging times, and think differently (not just your stereotypical CS major!). They love working in VC because they have autonomy over their work schedules while also being able to help founders innovate and change the world.
