The IO Podcast: Investor + Operator

NOTE

Looking at Investment Timing and Aperture for Decision Making

"At Andreessen Horowitz partner meetings, investment discussions focus on the timing of an idea rather than its viability. This shift in perspective leads to powerful decision-making. I adopt this approach too, changing it from an operational standpoint. Instead of arguing about who's right or wrong, I emphasize that everyone's perspective is valid. We debate to find the right answer. The real question is whose viewpoint should we prioritize in making the decision. By framing the debate as a choice of aperture, we can make more effective decisions. This method is incredibly impactful, especially when faced with complex decisions involving multiple stakeholders."
