PayPal's $1.5B exit produced 20 breakout founders. In contrast, Minnesota's $30B in exits this century produced 4.

I dug into tech clusters going back to the 1950s: Silicon Valley, São Paulo, Bogotá, Salt Lake City, Denver-Boulder, and Minnesota. The ability to attract breakout founders, and in turn their efficiency in recycling capital locally across technology waves.

Making every decision quickly doesn’t require much skill. It is easy, especially when you are the big boss. The real skill is in correctly judging which decisions should be made very quickly, which decisions can be made slowly, and which decisions will eventually be self-evident.

Negativity is boring. What’s needed is for more people to get excited about what could exist in the world, and then go and make it happen. There are still so many interesting problems to solve!

How can you combat this natural force?

The only ways I’ve seen:

1. Have extreme focus and clarity, saying no to many great things that are nice (and can be done with excess bandwidth).

2. Have people be willing to do tasks that feel “below” their level.

Heard from VC LPs - had a top VC consultant/advisor/FoF share their fresh power law data:

As of Q2, for Fund Vintages 2008-2019, they had exposure to 8,350 companies. 2,700 were realized. Of those exited companies, 5% of the companies (150) drove 70% of the value.
