Facebook and Apple are always given as the exceptions to all typical precedent when it comes to VCs.
Yet these two are the definition of outliers in terms of value created by a long shot.
- logicallee 11y agoI disagree with you and think they're completely typical, and that Zuckerberg's and Steve Jobs' megalomania and complete insanity of vision are completely typical of that success story. Take airbnb for example. you get the idea. I am saying that lowglow is like an NBA basketball coach who will only draft white men under 5 feet tall and over 30, on the theory that they'll try harder since they have something to prove. well, good for him. it's true that Michael Jordan is an outlier at 6 ft 6 in. But if you're only going to draft white men over thirty and under 5 feet tall, your team is going to suck. The investment thesis needs revision.
