Good morning 👋

Earlier this week, I spoke with Tim Chen, GP @ Essence.

He’s one of the most well-liked emerging out there, and he’s built up a brand as one of the best early-stage infrastructure investors.

I wanted to learn more about reasons to be bullish on developer tools, advantages and disadvantages of being a solo GP, and the right time to approach institutional capital.

Here’s what he had to say …

P.S. 🏄 I’m thinking about hosting a mastermind / retreat / meetup for a very select few of our readers.

• Hosted somewhere cool to sweeten the offer (Costa Rica, Miami, Orange County, Charleston, etc.)

• Small groups of 5-10 to make it exclusive

• Mix of work conversation + play to build real relationships with others that go

• Private chef and food included

• Optional activities (tennis, golf, surfing, yoga, etc.)
