In a follow-up thread, Nathan Benaich explains he spends much of his time searching for and nurturing a network of talent—founders to invest in, market-savvy experts, community members, and candidates for portfolio companies. Jack & Jill's approach of learning what makes someone tick, what they're great at, and what they'd love to do next resonated with his own practice, informing his decision to lead the $40M Series A.
