We're based on our friends' couches and in our old rooms at our parents' houses. What we have in common is that our parents loved to travel, so touring comes natural to us. We're a band of gypsies.

Harvard and Yale concentrated with venture capitalists that got the best calls and brainpower. Very few firms made most of the money, and they made it in just a few periods.
