Interesting.

Like many people, my natural inclination is often to try to help. But that often goes against self-interest in a way that the modern tribe/community/society doesn't always balance out.

With this Neo fund equity deal, you might see a little monetary upside as a side effect of behaving in a community-oriented way.

And someone else might see that same upside because they were seeking to pick up that upside. Maybe they tried to calculate how much time&energy they should invest in that.

Maybe the motives of the two categories are compatible enough that they get along, and the more innately altruistic don't get alienated?

Wesley was in my Z Fellows batch! super cool guy, his LinkedIn post where he goes over his decision in detail is worth a read.

Why is this even an article? People choose other funds all the time.
