Ask HN: Are you a VC? If so, how do you cope with survivorship bias?
Title says it all. Curious about what your techniques are to avoid fooling yourself. In case anyone reading this is unfamiliar with survivorship bias: https://youarenotsosmart.com/2013/05/23/survivorship-bias/
Full disclosure, I'm writing a story about investors and survivorship bias for Mattermark [1]. If any of you want to talk in depth or get on the phone, email me@sonyaellenmann.com. But I'm interested in general comments too.
