This week on the show, I chat with Gabe Karp. Gabe started his career as a trial lawyer before eventually stepping into an operational role with a startup. He stayed with that company throughout its growth and exited when it was acquired by a private equity firm. He and a few other players in the Detroit area then launched Detroit Venture Partners, where Gabe is currently a partner. In this show, we chat about his experience as a lawyer and how it translated throughout his career. Gabe emphasizes the importance of knowing how to deal with people and emotions.
Key takeaways:
Learn how to develop relationships and interact with people.
Leverage your flexibility and time when you're just starting your career.
Being responsibly aggressive in entrepreneurship.
