I like to work with founders that are solving genuine pain points. Something they felt personally or seen up close. Entrepreneurship is hard and there will be many dark moments. It’s the grit that comes from the passion to solve the pain point and the conviction in your solution that will help you stay the course! I like founders with clarity of thought and focus. It’s easy to get tempted to build everything but you are likely to travel farther as a spear vs a sphere for the same energy expended. I am delighted when I see founders on a steep learning curve and a growth mindset. Lastly and importantly, we all know there is a founder market fit, but I also believe in the founder-investor fit. I prefer to work with reasonable people. If you and I can’t have a relationship of high trust, we will never find a way to build something magical together. Trust and integrity are foundational values!
