​How would you build credibility if you were starting a new venture fund from scratch?

So I was recently talking to a founder, Sridhar Arunagiri , about how credibility is basically the foundation for any business to grow. That conversation got me thinking how credibility seems like the hardest thing to establish early on . From a business-building perspective, what would you focus on first to actually earn trust and stand out? Curious about your thoughts on this!!
