      One obvious thing that people often forget to mention: do business with people you like. It’s great.

      It's the best part of being in VC. You get to choose who you work with, and there are so many amazing people to work with.

      Wait, shouldn't VCs be investing on the people and the companies that can improve human life at scale and return capital to their LPs? What if this comes into conflict with your personal feelings about a founder or partner's disposition?

      Improving human life & returning capital are very important, but there are enough co's w/that potential that I can apply one more filter: not working with assholes. I work with founders w/very diff backgrounds and personalities, but place a huge value on "ethical and nice."

      You are term shifting. Your statement only works if "people I like" and "not assholes" is a perfect circle, but you know very well that liking someone is not binary and not always rational. It's a bad rule, that has no set definition, and has caused more harm than good.

      It sounds like much of your pushback comes from a misreading of the original tweet. Things it didn’t say: - *only* do business with people that you like - do business with people *because you like them*

          You're conflating two threads. In this thread I was responding to Leo saying that you get to choose who you work with and implying and later outright stating that those people are ones that he likes.
