experience-based philosophy. ten years ten principals.
entry valuations don’t matter | “doing the right deal is more important than doing the cheapest deal.”
understand your circle of competence at all times | “know what you know and know what you don’t know.”
back thesis-driven entrepreneurs in the right markets | “look for thesis-driven and implementation-agnostic entrepreneurs.”
become intimately aware of your biases | “bias is your worst enemy, evaluate and re-evaluate objectively.”
timing matters, on multiple levels | “invest at the right time, in the right market with the right entrepreneurs.”
focus on trendlines, not headlines | “invest in step-changes, not just pr visibility - as only one is persistent.”
network, network, network | “the champions league dealflow is network based, at all times.”
a deal is not done, until it is done | “sometimes it is harder to convince someone to take your money than it is to identify a good investment.”
good company matters | "a triple aaa shareholder line-up may have the biggest difference in the world."
go with serial entrepreneurs | "most of the time that is the delta between great and outstanding."
