TX Zhuo built and sold a bootstrapped textbook startup after his father's death in college, which he calls his "accidental entrepreneur" path and the reason he became an investor—to be the empathetic, hands-on partner he wished he'd had when selling without proper guidance. He runs a 73-person advisor network where Fika invests on advisors' behalf so they appear on portfolio company cap tables, creating aligned incentives and giving founders two senior advisors at no cost.
