In the long run, your pace of learning matters more than your current results.

[Howard Marks @HowardMarksBook]

It’s not what you buy that determines your results, it’s what you pay for it. And what you pay – the security’s price and its relationship to intrinsic value – is determined by investor psychology and the resulting behavior.

After 8ish years of pre-seed investing in 300+ companies, the biggest gap I see between VCs and founders is the relative weight placed on current traction by founders and the importance the next VC puts on market opportunity. Only gets bigger with each extra round raised.

What looks like skill is often routine.

The incremental gains are too small to notice until they are too large to ignore.
