About Eric:

Eric is the co-founder and GP at Hustle Fund, an early-stage venture capital firm based in San Francisco. Hustle Fund invests in software startups at the pre-seed and seed stages, backing founders who exhibit great execution and high velocity (hustle). Prior to becoming a VC, Eric was a founder (three exits) and product manager at Meta and Intuit.

In this episode we talk about what is hustling, how should a founder really hustle, why is hustle important, growth mindset vs fixed mindset, how to switch mindsets, how is building a VC fund different from building a startup, how should founders deal with biases, how should founders prepare their investor list, should founders raise money from angel investors or VCs, what does the human at the VC firm expect + so much more!

Enjoy!
