“Supporting founders as a Mentor of parallel18 is an extreme joy & honor. P18 founders tend to be excellent operators looking to put insights into practice right away. They tend to ask great questions, be very teachable and achieve excellent results.<\/p>\n

P18 is one of the most rewarding places that I mentor because it gives me great joy to see the founders put insight into practice very quickly and create both long-term economic and social impact that is extremely rewarding to watch. Mentoring in P18 creates leverage for me to make meaningful impact in early stage founders\u2019 journeys that I see compounding over time.”<\/p>\n
