1/5 A moment of confession and reflections. You see growing up I was told I was dyslexic and had learning disabilities. Reading and writing were always really hard for me but I couldn& #39;t be stopped. So, I developed coping mechanisms to make it through.

2/5 Writing still scares me. I misspell words all the time and use improper grammar. It amuses me when people correct me as if I should already know the proper way of writing. Like I made a mistake in error due to a lack of attention not know I read, and reread it like 20 times.

3/5 But it was early in life every one around me recognized that I was good at so many other things. That& #39;s what my parent used to encourage me in order to not let my deficiencies define me but my strengths and hard work. I& #39;m so far from perfect

4/5 Like many of the founders we back. They aren& #39;t perfect, they may not even know what a startup or VCs are (like me when I started). None of that matters in the end though. These things don& #39;t limit their ability to build great products and companies.

5/5 Like me, they are far more than their deficiencies. They are exceptional in so many ways. That is what we at @RarebreedVC focus on, those exceptional traits. We are a Rare Breed backing Rare Breed founders - @krollja @imessien @Amanimalc
