I don't see how the conclusion is correct based on the premise: "That’s why I don’t want to hear people’s ideas. I’m not interested until I see their execution.

I don't see how the conclusion is correct based on the premise: "That’s why I don’t want to hear people’s ideas. I’m not interested until I see their execution."
As per the premise, wouldn't you want to quickly vet out the idea to see if it's > 0 or your hurdle rate multiplier? If idea is Awful (-1), no level of execution is going to result in a desirable outcome.
This premise shows exactly why idea vetting is important.
- bidivia 5y agoHow do you know an idea is awful or not? Paul Graham does not have an idea, and he is a grand master expert in the field. The best ideas from YC backed companies looked awful for Paul Graham, he just trusted the people behind them.
