For a while now, I’ve wanted to try holding office hours. I’ve been a big beneficiary of Silicon Valley’s pay-it-forward culture, and I’d love to play a part in maintaining that culture. Winter holidays are a forced vacation for VCs*, so this seems as good a time as any to give office hours a try. The experiment that I want to conduct is “tit-for-tat office hours”: each person I meet with can ask me whatever they want for 20 minutes, and then I can ask them to teach me something related to their professional experience for 5 minutes. I’ve never tried this before, but hopefully it’ll be useful and fun for everyone involved.
