Narrative Violation : “Don’t invest in MBAs” If you just invested in the HBS Class of 2011, you would have hit $100B+ in market cap. - Coupang: $60B - Grab: $17B - Gojek: $10B - Oscar Health: $7B - Stitchfix: $5B Lesson? Don’t make up “proxy rules” in a game of outliers.

Fair. If you went 2 years back, you'd also pick up Cloudflare, Rent the Runway, Blue Apron, Birchbox, Plated. The original conclusion was don't decide to NOT invest because of an MBA (which I stand by). I wouldn't say TO invest because of an MBA. I like your rule as well.
I know of no investor who wouldn't fund a startup because one of the founders had an MBA though, so if that's your point, everyone already agrees with you.

Yup, that + the danger of "proxy rules" in a game of outliers. Thanks for engaging!

Thank you both for setting an amazing example of what a courteous, knowledge-seeking and interesting exchange can look like on Twitter. Hope others can take your cue and avoid the temptation to optimize engagement through sensationalism
