As a scientist, I'm naturally very curious, and that is probably why I ended up doing a PhD. It's this constant, like thurst to learn and venture actually promises you lifelong learning because you learn about new business models, new industries, new problem sets, and like, you know, issues around different supply chains. And you learn about what it's like to build a company in a, sort of blooming market. And you get other lessons when you are trying to navigate those companies through a much more or more of a bear market. And so I find that that really satisfies my, Desire to be like learning and getting new experiences. I'm also someone who has a very short attention span and in venture, your day to day can vary so much from like writing an investment paper to then going to a networking event, to then, you know, sort of going to a board meeting. And those require a very, you know, different set of skills. And that's something that comes naturally to me, that sort of quick context switching. And therefore I felt it was, it was a great match, for me. I also thought that, that there isn't that many careers where you get to work with some brilliant entrepreneurs and visionaries who are trying to change, change the world and trying to solve some really big problems that we're facing today or in the next 50 years. And that is an opportunity that, that I couldn't walk away from.
