most underrated quality of all is being really determined this is more important than being smart this is more important than having a network is more important than a great idea
the hardest thing about starting a company
is the level and the frequency of bad stuff that happens to you
and most people that are good and really other ways eventually the company gets killed by um
stuff going wrong
and so much about being a successful entrepreneur is just not giving up
when we have funded people
who have a great idea
perfect background on paper
and a great product and still failed
it has usually been that they're insufficiently determined so i think this is the most important non-obvious skill of the founder of course you need a good product and a good market and to be smart
but that's really obvious the degree to which being like a
you know three or four standard deviation outlier on determination
is a required skill the ceo
is not something that
was obvious to me when i started
