Iâve known Jared Polis for going on a quarter of a century now, even before he was elected to anything. And as much as Iâve tried, he was a hard guy to dislike from the very beginning.
The person I first tried to dismiss as a petulant rich kid who put his folkâs greeting card company on the internet and had the dumb luck to cash out at the top of the dot-com bubble just isnât who he was then or is now.
The fact is he was able to parlay that dot-com booty into other venture capital projects, like ProFlowers.com, proving it wasn’t just dumb luck. It took true talent and skill.
