"2 things I recommend to everyone new to angel investing / venture both important: [--]. Chat with as many founders across industries/stages as possible. Bonus points if you can share notes with or ask questions alongside someone else who invests. [--]. Chat with (or listen to/read lots of content from) the very best founders. This is ultimately the "level" you are betting on new founders to achieve (over years) especially in terms of clarity of thought grit/adaptability & strength of vision. Lots of nuance here but I find it extremely helpful overall"

"Highly recommend (thanks for the suggestions) The performance of Microsoft's small cadre of programmers was ragged in the company's early years. Deadlines were often missed products weren't always well designed and contracts had to be revised due to unforeseen obstacles or delays. What sustained the company was not Gates' ability to write programs to "crank code' despite his vaunted grasp of detail and of the nuances of communicating with slivers of silicon. Gates sustained Microsoft through tireless salesmanship. For several years he alone made the cold calls and haggled cajoled brow-beat"
