Seed stage investing is an art, not a science. And in a similar vein, there’s no one size fits all founder. These traits had an immediate impact on what I look for and how I help our portfolio companies. If you liked this thread, like or retweet xitter.gq/jarridvtingle/status/1…
I asked partners from VC firms like Sequoia, Bessemer, and Lightspeed what traits make founders successful. Between seed stage and unicorn status, the business model or market can change, but the founder has an outsized impact. Here's a thread on the 7 traits they identified 🧵

Sales feeds off marketing, but marketing feeds off product. Most of the news that a startup generates should be product-centric.

Most software we use today was designed to layer on top of our legacy workplace practices or processes. As we build a digital workplace, we have the opportunity to fundamentally rethink what work should look like in the 21st century.

Most of the funding and market cap in a SaaS category goes to the category leader. The best way for founders to lead a category is to define it. Here are my thoughts on how to do that. medium.com/craft-ventures/th…

It's a crime when short-sighted owners rob the future. That's what 3G has been doing to @KraftHeinzCo. Years ago I called this "denominator management," or "corporate anorexia." Slashing costs is easy, finding new ways to thrill customers, not so much. on.wsj.com/2XkMKcm
