Because I don't plan to make any new commitments this year, I aim to spend the rest of the year working on things that will make me more effective next year.

These include:

Making it easy for angels to auto-subscribe to find out when my companies are raising. (Let me know if you'd like to be on this list.)
A CRM for other VCs.
Auto-emailing those VCs quarterly so they remember I exist to invest alongside them and to check I have their remit correct.
Figuring out how to build a network of US VCs that might lead rounds in my companies at Series A & B.
Figuring out if I should switch most of my tech stack to Notion.
Figuring out if there are low-friction ways my portfolio companies can help each other. A good example is introductions. There are loads of introductions founders can make for each other and these get uncovered randomly rather than intentionally.

What else could I work on to help my investing, deal flow and portfolio companies?
