The next problem
I am a corporate lawyer working with emerging companies and venture capital clients in Silicon Valley. I like my job, the pay is great and I enjoy working with founders and investors. However, I don’t want my career to be forever tied to billable hours. I want to listen to a founder’s visions and invest in them. I don’t have a financial background, but is there a way I could pivot into early stage VC investing? Or am I delusional? Male, 20s
