Great employees and investments have a track record of success.
To illustrate, my Geekdom Fund partners and I heard a pitch late last year. It was great. Beautiful pitch deck. Eloquent, concise story. Big market. Believable strategy.
Very impressive by all regards. But, something didn’t sit right with us.
When I dug in later, the CEOs career to date had no big wins in it either. So, it was a pass on the team and a pass on the business for that reason.
