𝗛𝘆𝗯𝗿𝗶𝗱 𝗘𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 🚀 Lucas J. Pols, GP at Pegasus Angel Accelerator, shares his thoughts on hybrid entrepreneurship. He believes it is a smart approach, as data shows you have a 33% higher chance of success if you start as a hybrid entrepreneur versus quitting your job to fully commit. While seeking venture investment requires a full-time commitment, in the early testing and traction phases, there's no need to quit your day job - moonlight on your startup using those extra 20-40 hours per week. This unlimited runway approach mitigates risk until real traction emerges and it's time to raise funds and go full-time. #entrepreneurship #startup #founder

Coolwater Capital's Winter Mead dives into the missing ecosystem for emerging fund managers. While private equity, hedge funds, and VCs have had sporadic support, there was no dedicated platform to systematically empower emerging fund managers. Most were left relying on high-net-worth individuals for one-off advice and occasional checks. Coolwater Capital changed the game by building an accelerator for emerging fund managers —offering structure, guidance, and consistent support when it matters most. 🚀 #VentureCapital #StartupEcosystem #VC
