This is going to be BIG.

The tech community has been having a long-overdue conversation about mental health and work/life balance and it’s something I’ve been talking up as far back as 2006 , 2009 , and 2014 on my blog and in public. It makes me want to quit venture capital entirely. I continue to emphasize that as an investor today.

Anyone can build a coworking space, but it''s a lot harder to attract and curate a set of folks that makes me want to move into that space. It was a happy accident when I got back into NYC VC in 2009 that I just happened to find the Ace Hotel--a space that was really conducive to meetings and founders working on projects.

Venture capital firms, on the other hand, draw people in. When I was camping out in the Ace Hotel back in 2009 before First Round had an office, I took meetings with 3-5 people a day, 4-5 days a week, for 7 months. In a place like New York, many real estate families are major investors in venture capital funds.
