Strongly disagree with this. There is enormous value from making sure you invest alongside the right partners, whether in private or public markets. Otherwise their problems become your problems.https://twitter.com/paulg/status/1164069995292184576 …
For sure there would be value to _you_ if you could, say, invest alongside Andreessen Horowitz in all their deals. What I mean is that there would be little value to the startup.

It is also the case that some investors may be negatives and a future risk. For examples: see Jeffery Epstein (any fund or company he invested in is likely in damage control mode now) also Peter Thiel or Saudi finds etc

As a founder or in the future perhaps as an investor it is rational to want to know who else is investing and judge whether you want a long term financial and professional association with those fellow investors esp with earlier stage companies

Certainly the question makes sense when not wanting to invest alongside known bad actors and problematic people. I hear your point though- don’t put lemmings on your board or cap table.
