As a former investor, an entrepreneur that thinks he/she understands my business better than I do is a big red flag.
- dpritchett 14y agoKudos to Danielle for trying to pierce the veil. Feel free to challenge her data and analysis with better data and better analysis.
- obviouslygreen 14y agoI guess if that's what you're interested in, this could be what you're looking for... though this is a lot like picking stocks based on price patterns: It gives you a phenomenally narrow view based solely on results with absolutely no insight into how or why things are happening or not happening. I can see how this information, were it in any way insightful, would be useful to a lot of people. However, not only are the criteria very arbitrary, the list is being built from admittedly incomplete and/or incorrect data, and the opt-out-of-my-public-shaming approach is disingenuous at best.
- mindcrime 14y agoAs a former investor, an entrepreneur that thinks he/she understands my business better than I do is a big red flag. Funny you would say that, given the perceived typical information asymmetry between investors and entrepreneurs. It would be just as accurate to say: As an entrepreneur, an investor that thinks he/she understands my business better than I do is a big red flag.
- lquist 14y agoI completely agree. And I should mention that it's not that I don't think it's possible for an entrepreneur to know more about investing than I do, just that it shows hubris.
