I have long said that the next day no one has ever said: "You know, it was that last shot of tequila that really made the night fun, that was a wise choice." But that the opposite phrase is uttered every single day. Another phrase I heard today that fits in that category is "Emails never come back to help you." The partner here that is mentoring me and showing me the ropes said that to me today, and I just really like the way he phrased it. We all know that anything one puts in email has the potential to get out, but I think this is a whimsical way of driving that point home.
Hacker Turned VC Can a hacker go to the darkside?
About Lucas Nelson (me)
I’m a Partner at Lytical Ventures, an NYC based venture fund focused on Corporate Intelligence including cybersecurity, data analytics, and artificial intelligence. I’m also a Kauffman Fellow and world ranked pinball player.
I’m most excited by companies that are trying to make a dent in the universe.
In the past, I co-authored The Art of Software Security Testing, chaired DefCon – the largest hacking convention in the US – for 10 years, and have been actively involved in the NY tech community since 1999.
I collect pinball machines, am a proud father, and I still manage to code a bit now and then.
