Do the work to be a good investor No shortcuts available
There are a lot of average to poor VC track records out there and bad pattern recognition/not doing the hard work is a common driver of poor performance. When I first became an "Operator turned Investor" almost 16 years ago, I thought that making good investment decisions…
