Not that common. Our investing team is quite lean (15 people).

At the higher levels (4 Director, and the CIO) they either have Asset Management or PE/VC/HF experience.

We have 4 people who started here after undergrad and are climbing the ranks. Alongside me and another intern.

The other 4 employees came from, 2 came from BB IB analyst stints, one has Manager Selection Experience at BB, we have a T2 consultant (A lot of CDD experience)

If you follow the cryptocurrency market, or even have been just taking an interest lately, with the Bitcoin "halvening," you should check out Pi.

If you haven't heard of Pi, it's a new cryptocurrency (like Bitcoin), developed by a bunch of Stanford PhDs. What makes it really interesting is that you can still mine this coin, using just the processing power of your phone, unlike just about every other coin out there. (Contd)
