      This is a cool experiment, and is a good example of “If you *actually believed* a thing which is widely professed in our industry, you would structure your affairs radically differently than is standard.”https://twitter.com/avichal/status/1343265951391748096 …

      1/ Some friends and I are trying an experiment: $400k for 7% on a SAFE, *before* you've picked an idea for a startup https://medium.com/south-park-commons/announcing-the-spc-founder-fellowship-88e8f4c2ba9c … I've done this w/ 3 founders since 2017. 100% of the companies have raised a A and they are worth ~$200M Details on the $400k👇🧵

      If you actually believe that founders are the most important thing, and if you actually believe you have a nose for that, if you meet someone at a barbecue and they ping your radar you should offer to invest even if they are presently e.g. teaching math.

      “That’s absurd.” The underlying belief is absurd or it isn’t. If you believe it, then the rest of this is *strictly* a math problem. There is a valuation where you have a higher EV of returns than e.g. YC does; you just need to get them to say yes to it.

      I remember hearing a report from a famous VC who kept good records and said they’d have done as well or better if they’d never listened to any facts about the companies founders were pitching to them? (That is, nothing had signal beyond how good the founders were.)

          If memory serves this might have been @tylercowen interviewing @pmarca who was recalling something from some eminent person a generation before him, but my memory is as you see fuzzy here.
