Prediction: No startup run by a founder who is also running a fund on the side will be a big success.

Better example: Amazon
-
Surely Bezos isn't running a fund either? (Merely investing is not running a fund. A fund means LPs.)
-
Bezos Expeditions looks like more than "merely investing" -- enough big wins to make "real" funds jealous https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeff_Bezos#Bezos_Expeditions …
-
Bezos isn't running Bezos Expeditions; he's hired a team to run it
-
Early on (when Amazon was a startup), Bezos was essentially in charge (e.g. he got himself into Google). Biggest nuance is his no LPs.
-
himself, with no LPs is more like angel investing. running a fund you have to manage LPs etc
-
Yes, Paul already made this point. But, by that criteria Clarium Capital and Soros Fund Management aren't funds either.
-
why does it matter if Clarium or Soros are classified as funds or not in this context?
