Fund Creation Motives

Shaan shares a candid story about the real reason he created his investment fund, contrasting it with common marketing narratives.

"I have a fund called the All Access Fund. Do I feel good that other people get access to good Silicon Valley deals? Sure. Is that why I did the fund? No, that's not why I did the fund.

I did the fund because I was writing checks and I wanted to write bigger checks and more checks into more companies, and that was more than my personal bankroll would allow. So I raised money from other people to do that, and now I get to write more checks into more awesome companies. That's why I raised the fund - not because I wanted to democratize access to angel investing for a middle school teacher in Tennessee."
