Episode notes
Tech Investing is Highly Memetic
- The tech investment market is highly memetic, with most investors following trends rather than being contrarians.
- Consensus investing leads to many competing companies in the same space, despite winner-take-most dynamics.
Tech Exits Are Longer and Smaller
- The time to exit in tech is lengthening, creating tension between founders and investors.
- Large exits are rarer than perceived; many successful exits are smaller but life-changing for founders.
Use Lineage Tracing to See Deals
- Analyze missed deals by comparing peers' investments to your CRM to identify overlooked opportunities.
- Build relationships in those areas to ensure you never miss high-potential deals again.
