Noa Khamallah, a former convict and street kid, has launched Don't Quit Ventures, a $10 million fund that is outperforming larger, established venture capital firms. The fund has achieved significant success, with three of its 17 investments valued over $1 billion and nearly 20% becoming unicorns, far exceeding the industry average. Khamallah's approach involves direct outreach to influential figures like Yann LeCun and Fetty Wap, and his fund's strategy of investing in smaller, high-potential companies is proving effective in a market where smaller funds are showing better returns.
