Why Did Jeff Morris Jr. Leave Tinder to Invest Full Time?

Jeff Morris Jr. tells the Paradox Podcast that doing two things well is impossible. Before he invested full time he was VP of product at Tinder, and he was also writing angel-syndicate checks. He says that combination was a useful way to start learning investing, and that it could not last. He had to choose between operating and being an investor. Staying on the product track would have cost him the years it takes to get good at investing, which he treats as the work he actually wants. He made the leap knowing he would miss parts of building product.
