    funny thing happens in industries like VC void of near-term measures of success: people start trying to impress each other to get superficial validation in ways that simply take your eye off the ball...

        This is so spot on. When who are are trying to impress are “bankers” you aren’t doing justice to the product or service. This is the inherent dillusion of good design potential in scores of startups out there.

        Well that’s any job really. Employers are the worst at this with their “promotions” even tho it just means that their margin of ROI on you is higher and you should go somewhere else.

        Could this also be spun as another reason why having success as founder before becoming active VC is helpful? Can reduce need for validation and allow one to acknowledge the level of randomness/luck that can drive venture-scale outcomes.

        Long development cycles create idle time, morphing product teams into theorist not builders. Product theorists devise crackpot intellectual frameworks that distance themselves from real users. The kiss of death. Stay close. Sketch. Prototype. Build. Action over theory.

        Yep kind of learned that last night from a guy that built giant profit with no VC and still gets the FOMO from people who seem to think taking VC is the measure. So great to find founders that can say - huge growth don’t need it

        I call these false proxies - Series A graduation rate, quality of follow-on investor, and total capital raised by company. The problem is, the loop is so long, this is the best there is.

        Why not just acknowledge that there is no data and live in/with that truth. It's more honest

        what to do while waiting on the world to change and the messages to be read and replied to...performing for each other (and getting validation) is the social version of twiddling your thumbs; like twiddling identities to get laughs and eventual alliances
