As a 23yo Harvard person, I can attest that this habit stems from the need to sound smart. Also, dating back to the dot-com era, the intellectuals over at the business school told Jeff Bezos that Amazon would lose to Barnes and Nobles. Chasing accuracy alone might work in an exam or maybe even in public equities, but in venture, you can’t short companies. All the upside is generated from outlier outcomes. So a big mindset shift is to chase optimism rather than sounding smart. Missing the next Cursor hurts a lot more than investing in a company that doesn’t work out.
