Michael Moritz on @elonmusk: "I'm a great believer in the great person theory. He may well be the greatest industrialist in the history of America. It's impossible for me to understand how one individual has been able to achieve what [he's achieved] — and I know he's a controversial figure, but I'm just looking at him through the lens of history and through an investor's lens. I'm completely gobsmacked by the scale of his achievements in a variety of different industries, which is the thing that sets him apart from others." Quoting @patrick_oshag My conversation with Michael Moritz, one of the great venture investors of the last 40 years. Michael joined Sequoia in 1986 and co-led the firm with Doug Leone (@dougleone) from 1995 to 2012. His investments include Google, Yahoo, PayPal, and Stripe.

Been digging into my own angel investor metrics lately; I currently invest in about 2% of the companies I see. If you're raising, just know that a lot of this is a numbers game. Even the hot startups I talk to get a lot of `no` before hearing `yes`. startups Related

. @yurimilner was that world class investor. After one meeting he said he wanted to invest and asked me for a valuation. I threw out a number 10 pct below what i figured our next round would be. He said he would wire the money next week. I think it was $150m. Never asked for board seat or any terms. He ttly got what the founder of a high growth company cared about. No meetings. No terms. Dont bother us. Let us cook! Quoting @kevinleeme Whenever other founders ask me who my best investors are and who I’d recommend they work with, I name the handful of VCs who rarely bother us and trust us to operate. It’s funny how simply doing nothing as an investor can put you in the top 1% of a founder’s book. Related

Investor relations will happily and expeditiously respond to an email from someone with one share, a fraction of a share, or an undisclosed number of shares, across a wide variety of companies, including many with other-than-awesome CS reputations.

know your goal or suffer a death by a thousand compromises. Because what I had done my whole career and most of us do is compromise to get that next engineer, CTO, investor. You put a jerk on your board because you impressed with their firm name and the valuation and all your friends are going to be impressed and it's going to be so much easier. We make all these compromises and contort ourselves and eventually we wake up and it's company we don't want to work at.

So I've been experimenting with some 1:1 coaching, mostly from people who are close to FIRE but looking for a final checkup. Here are some of the things some people miss consistently: 1) If you're going to go to all the trouble of owning rental houses, the damned things should at least outperform the stock market. So make sure your cap rate is better than ~8% after all expenses. But this takes some skill, so I keep sending people to @CoachChadCarson's excellent all-in-one book on the subject, "The Small and Mighty Real Estate Investor" 2) If you're going to invest in stocks, you should unders… Related

I may have I may be an investor. I have a track record of calling the market right in the last five times. People say, "Wow, he really knows what he's talking about." But there are lots of people who are trying to predict which way the market is going to go. And some of them are going to get it right by chance. And people assume it's because they know what they're what they're doing, and in fact they're just the lucky ones.

Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
