In this special episode, I talk about how I built trust on Twitter, got Forbes 30U30, and raised $5 million at 23. I share tips to prevent mistakes that emerging managers make raising their first fund. I will be answering questions concerning interactions on Twitter, demographics of LPs, managing how to network and build relationships with founders alongside raising a fund, sharing information and touching base with LPs, and my methodology for contacting LPs periodically throughout the year.
