Wait, if startup valuations are so high, that must mean deals are super-competitive, right?

@amitku chimes in with the reality:

1️⃣ if you have the same point of view as everyone else, then you're competing with the crowd

2️⃣ if you are unique, those deals are not competitive

"You should back founders who make something out of nothing, not founders who make nothing out of something - @gralston" - @amitku

Amit shares this quote on First Funders with @shaherose and me. Hear more details there!

You are the average of the 5️⃣ people around you.

You should invest in the 5️⃣ best people you know.

5️⃣-dollar footlong.

Do you believe in these things, or are they just hokey truisms? What leads you to your conclusion?

Why do you invest in startups? Sure, the $$ goal is there, but if you don't have a reason beyond that, you won't last long.

(Trust me, I'm proof!)
