I think anyone who follows the advice of Tucker Max, America's biggest no-apologies frat bro, should not be taken too seriously. You still got it wrong for who

I think anyone who follows the advice of Tucker Max, America's biggest no-apologies frat bro, should not be taken too seriously.
You still got it wrong for who you should be investing in: People who have a vision driving them to the core, who can't imagine not seeing their change happen. People who just want to start businesses "because they can't really think of doing anything else", are people who just want the lifestyle or equate it with personal freedom or something. They don't have much of an edge.

This is a start, but only a start. I've run into plenty of these "types" who don't have the skills or experience to launch a successful startup. The question shouldn't just be "Do I have the passion for this?" but also "Do I have the abilities to execute this?"
- edanm 11y agoIs there any reason to think that your advice is correct? Any kind of study showing a correlation between "a vision driving someone to the core" and success? That idea, while a very good soundbite, flies in the face of the evidence - almost all startups shift their idea, sometimes quite a bit, before becoming successful.

- lmm 11y agoHas he? What's the benchmark for someone in his position who goes into investing, and how does his performance compare to it?
