✓ Learn by doing. You don't watch from the sidelines. You participate in every deal discussion.
✓ Respect the room. Diverse views, honest debate, no egos.
✓ Make decisions. Invest or pass — but you decide. No abstentions.
✓ IRL is valued. In-person events in key cities. Virtual participation is always an option.
