Ohanian revealed how parenthood had shifted his perspective and priorities in his business endeavors.

“Having children was one of the best things I’ve ever done, personally, but also professionally. Business Fathers will understand,” Ohanian wrote.

He also shared pivotal decisions that have defined his journey since becoming a father. The co-founder of Initialized Capital, established in 2011, disclosed that he stepped down from the firm to launch his own fund named Seven Seven Six.

“With Olympia at 3 in 2020, it inspired me to resign in protest from @reddit board, split @initialized up to start @sevensevensix — my life’s work, my best work — wantеԀ her to see me doing my best, in a way she’d be proud of. The last 3 years have been the most productive and effective of my career,” Ohanian wrote.
