Lessons from 3 Years of Running a VC Fund

After 3 years of building EconVenture Capital, here are the key lessons I wish someone told me during my economics degree: 1) Valuation models from textbooks rarely apply to early-stage startups. 2) Network effects matter more than unit economics early on. 3) Your economics training gives you an unfair advantage in understanding market dynamics. To all juniors considering entrepreneurship β€” your economics foundation is more valuable than you think.
