One of my biggest mistakes investing:Focusing too much on v1 of an early startup's product.That's not to say product doesn't matter. Ofc it does. But it will change.I still prefer to see a demo > deck, but primarily to understand their thought process and design thinking.

It's so true that the initial product is just the beginning of the journey. Understanding the team's vision and adaptability is crucial. How do you evaluate a startup's potential for iteration and growth?

Usually when a company stops sending investor updates, things aren’t going well.But not always. Sometimes it’s the opposite and they’re exploding.
