We interview yaz, partner at Emergence Capital who helped launch their billion-dollar B2B software fund. This is the story of how he went from considering a professional fighting career to becoming a VC partner at one of Silicon Valley's most selective firms. He shares how Emergence discovered Zoom before anyone else, why they only make 5-7 investments per year, and the disciplined approach that led to backing some of B2B's biggest winners.
