The Twenty Minute VC (20VC): Venture Capital | Startup Funding | The Pitch

ANECDOTE

Honesty of Experienced Founders

  • Jason Lemkin prefers interviewing founders with $20-30M+ in revenue.
  • He believes founders below this threshold lack the experience and honesty to provide valuable insights, often resorting to self-promotion.
  • Lemkin references Todd McKinnon, CEO of Okta, who felt secure from failure only after reaching $30M.
  • He emphasizes that founders at this level can openly discuss mistakes, offering more compelling learning experiences.
