      Seed stage VCs stress waaaaay too much about competition. Most markets are enormous and not winner-take-all.

      One VC asked us to fill out a four page “competitive analysis” on how we would stack up against a competitor. We’re already bigger than them and it’s been four months.

      Anyone asking you to fill out 4 pages at seed stage has no idea what they're doing

          Turns out it’s not incredibly difficult for people who have made a lot of money outside of startups to raise a $10m fund from Chinese and Arab LPs

          Everyone talks about the Bitcoin bubble. The proliferation of $10 - $50M seed funds is the real bubble.

          20 and 2 for two guys with a $20m fund is just wacky incentives all around

          Mostly also it's just hard to learn how to invest on your own. Most industries train talent via mentors. Why would investing be any different. That's my main problem with most two wacky dudes funds

          Not a world I understand fully, but even from this side of the table it’s clear who is going it alone
