Inevitability. One should only invest in inevitable founders. A good investment is the one that needs you the least but gets to the final destination faster once we partner.
People want to feel consequential, often making mistakes when it comes to investment decisions.
I have been guilty of only wanting to invest in companies that needed our help. This framework is wrong. Investing in inevitability is the best way to invest, so you get to take part in something bigger than you.
Great VCs understand that they don't have power; they have influence. In most cases, the final decision is up to the founders. There is no grandiose into being a Venture Capitalist. A lot of "VC mistery" is wrapped behind marketing and branding. The real players know that when they win, it means they got to participate in inevitability.
Our ability to make a difference for founders at ONEVC is proven with data and facts. But VCs don't build companies; founders build companies. We might influence the course of an organization, but decisions aren't absolute.
In the end, you must find and fund inevitability.
When solving problems or dealing with multiple daily requests often my mind will get busy, worried and distracted and I lose flow.
Cultivating good habits is the easiest way to build yourself into a man of character. They start with your diet, personal hygiene, and exercise.
For the past two weeks, I've been failing on most of my latest attempts to be hyper-productive. I am having a hard time keeping up with my own hunger.
