The human side of dealmaking is that any deal can be rewritten on the fly with effective persuasion.

At early stages, the steps are: • Is the team great? At product execution and distribution? • Can the market be big (not is it big currently)? • Can they build a moat? • Are the terms fair?

At early stages, there’s less visibility into the eventual market. At later stages, the market is much clearer, and team is more augmentable. That’s why seed investors (mostly) bet on the team and Warren Buffett (mostly) bets on the market. And there’s a continuum in between.

The yin and yang of early-stage investing: - Invest in great teams, they will find the market - Invest in markets that are so good, even an idiot can run the company Which one is which, I’m not sure.

Story about high-conviction investing:
@tgm dropped off a $25K check (actual physical check) at the AngelList office in the early days, when we weren’t even raising money. He just gave us a blind check.https://twitter.com/HelloSpearhead/status/1029816917484232704 …Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo -
Then add the financial benefits of 6-year vests: - The strike price is today’s strike price, not a higher strike price in 4 years - You can exercise the whole grant now and start the clock ticking on long-term capital gains tax - A new grant 4 years from now wouldn’t be as big

Why we did 6-year vesting at AngelList: - We want people who will stick around, because it takes a long time to build something important - We want new hires to see that the current team isn’t going anywhere - We want people who are here for the mission, not a payday

“If you are selling to consumers, similarly, you will know that you have PM Fit when customers order a second time, renew their subscription, give you a high NPS score, tell their friends about your product on social media.” –

“Don’t think that initial contracts indicate PM Fit… Businesses have significant budgets set aside for testing new products… The only time you will know that that customer actually wants to buy your product is when they sign the full long-term contract.”

Give the fastest ‘no’ in the business. Your data set and opinions don’t really matter when you say no. If an entrepreneur has conviction, they’re going to do it anyway.

He only invests when he has high conviction. And when he has high conviction he doesn’t care what other people think.
