Hey @elad! Have immense respect for how you operate as an angel investor. 2 questions: 1/ What would you say are 2-3 things that have helped you the most to pick winning companies at the earliest stages? 2/ If you had to identify the top 2-3 traits in the strongest founders you’ve backed, what would they be? 🙏

1/ Product market matters more then founders (I say this as a two time founder myself!). So what are you building for whom, and do they care? 2/ Smart, driven, ethical and need at least 1 person who is great at selling (employees to join, customers, funding) and >=1 who can build technically.

Ty! On 1), understood. At the earliest stages, how do you weigh that against very strong founders still exploring the idea maze? On 2) I remember pitching you our fund and when I asked about what type of founders to send your way, you cited “high integrity”. I didn’t appreciate it then, but I do now post-ZIRP!
