Venture capital often represents just a small portion—around 10%—of many investors’ portfolios, but the time commitment can be disproportionate. Building the right relationships, vetting managers, and staying ahead of evolving market trends can easily consume 90% of your time. It can be very rewarding but exhausting. The reality is, VC sometimes isn’t just about capital allocation—it’s about understanding the human element, aligning with visionaries, and adapting to rapidly shifting dynamics in technology and business models. The effort required to navigate this landscape is substantial, but so are the potential returns, both financial and intellectual. The real value comes from the relationships you cultivate and the insights you gain along the way, which can often inform the rest of your investment strategy.
