Interesting profile of VC Hemant Taneja, and the "strategic conglomerate" he's trying to build at General Catalyst, by my former colleagues @Forbes for this year's Midas List. "He perceived more in Stripe than we did," says CEO @patrickc of @htaneja. https://t.co/eLiH6tWY4n

Excited to share for the first time what I've been building at @atriaVC - investing in the next generation of founders in AI + biology at pre-seed and seed. If you're building, it's never too early to start a conversation. DMs are open.
