1. The 3 things we look for in the entrepreneurs we invest in But we’re really picky because we don’t just look at the hard data. The truth is that as much as we are investing in companies that make impact, we’re also investing in people that make impact as well. We don’t just assess the companies; we assess the people running them as well. To boil it down, here’s what we’re looking for in the entrepreneurs we invest in. We look for 3 things: brains, talent and character. This is the complete trifecta as far as we’re concerned. So what, you’re probably asking, do we mean by each? Brains When we say brains, we’re not necessarily talking about a degree from a top 10 b-school, although we do value the work that goes into getting an MBA and it signals to us a hard worker and high achiever. But brains aren’t about how you scored on your college final; brains are all about problem solving. Talent Talent is an easy word to misunderstand. Some people usually don’t think of themselves as talented – as in someone who has a gift or ability or a skill that sets them apart from someone else. Other people overestimate their talent – a lot. And yet other people think talent isn’t developed or refined but is inherent and present from birth. Part of that may be true – some people are just better suited genetically to athletics, for example. (I say that as someone who watches the Olympics on his couch.) But all of us need to work to develop our skills and talents. That’s the most important part –it’s the learning curve. Character When we say character, we don’t just mean our investees should be nice and polite. In fact, far from it. The word “nice” comes from the Latin word “nescius” which literally means, “to be ignorant.” We definitely don’t want ignorant people on our team.
