Being an outlier means you often exist on the fringes, standing apart from the majority in how you think, act, or experience the world. What's worse - and strangely funny - is that you end up encountering all forms of "otherness" because you're never quite inside any box.

The biggest downside of any good VC is getting caught in a frenzy and being unable to distinguish reality from a bubble. And this is an industry problem. We saw this during web3, .com bubble and my guess is we'll see this in the current astro apps wave too.
