Olivia and Justine Moore, The Venture Twins: "It's always about finding the next big thing so you get to spend your days on the edge of the cool, new, weird thing. There's never a shortage of excitement."

Update: 2020-01-20

Description

Despite having only graduated in 2016 (currently having a quarter-life crisis about what I'm doing with my life... only half joking), Olivia and Justine Moore have accomplished so much and rightfully have seats at the Forbes 30 under 30 table. Currently, they work at CRV, one of the nation's oldest and most successful early-stage venture capital firms focused on technology and new-media companies. Outside of that, they co-author the Accelerated newsletter, which has become an emerging resource of all things tech and venture capital, full of the "news you need to know, jobs and internship opportunities, interviews with founders and investors, and new apps and platforms to try out."

I could really go on about the number of things they've somehow fit into their 25 year life span. But you'll hear about the summer camp they founded in their backyard, the class they created as undergraduates back at Stanford and so much more if you just hit the play button.
