What you likely need
You are a proven founder with a landmark IPO exit at Instacart and are now pivoting into early-stage investing. Your brand as an Instacart co-founder gives you exceptional deal flow access and founder credibility, but your public investor identity is still nascent. Formalizing your investing thesis and track record early will compound your reputation in both roles.
