Investors are biased towards metrics that may not prioritize the startup's survival, focusing instead on growth and revenue.

Trust in exponential growth and momentum, as startups that are growing tend to continue growing if they maintain that momentum.

Investing in startups should not just be about making a difference; you should also consider the potential for returns on your investment.

Good traction is often measured by growth rate; showing significant growth in revenue is more impressive than having a static revenue figure over time.

We encourage our team to invest in opportunities that show promise, even if they come with risks, as this can lead to significant breakthroughs. In venture capital, the key to success is identifying the next big thing early and investing heavily, rather than focusing on win rates or percentage returns.

Investors often chase opportunities in startups, hoping to profit from future growth, which can lead to inflated valuations that may not be sustainable.

When pitching to investors, it's important to focus on the potential for significant growth rather than hedging against failure; confidence in your vision is key.

We prioritize markets poised for great growth, as the right market can significantly increase a company's chances of success.

When comparing yourself as a founder, aim to emulate successful companies with significant revenue, rather than just those with high valuations.
