NOTE

Prioritize Passion Over Ideas

Successful investments hinge on the quality of the team rather than just the idea itself.

Founders who possess market fit because they are effectively their own customers can better address personal problems, enhancing their commitment to the project.

Ultimately, a team's dedication and drive are key indicators of potential success.
