• The time to take
the tarts is when they're being passed. If an environment is
right for funding, go for it. Eugene, more than anyone, knew

• It's difficult to
see the picture when you're inside the frame.
• After learning
some of the tricks of the trade, some people think they
know the trade. This reflected some of Eugene's own humility; he
recognized that many venture capitalists thought they were experts when they
had just a bit of knowledge.
• Venture capitalists will stop

with them not just with their ideas.
