A simple rhetorical question I've been asking when helping guide founders & those raising funds recently: "What's your right to exist?" It's such a simple question but usually stops folks in their tracks. The answer doesn't need to be long & fancy, but a crisp answer is required.
When it comes to investing in founders, there's one trait that I always look for: paranoid optimism. I know that might sound like a contradiction. But hear me out. The best founders are the ones who have deep conviction that they're going to change the world.
