I'm curious to know how do investors judge whether given founder has strong or weak personality? Especially in 30-60 minutes meeting? I'm sure it must be gut feeling but good salesman can easily fake it, unlike most of the founders who are geeks.
- jchin 14y agoI'm not an investor but I would imagine the answer is in pattern matching. Investors who meet a ton of people inevitably will have longer relationships with some of them and find out in the end whether a founder has a "strong" or "weak" personality. I think it's reasonable to call this pattern matching a "gut feeling." Eventually, with more data points, I would assume the pattern matching becomes more nuanced and would be able to better distinguish who is faking and who isn't.
