I think the difference between us as investors is I feel like I know what is going to work. I am often wrong about that. But never in doubt.

I also later replied to him that maybe two different approaches that share the same goal curious what you think?

My first thought is that “knowing what to ignore requires you to be aware of what you’re ignoring.” Which makes me feel like you and PG are saying mostly the same thing.

Makes sense. Mastering selection is all about radical focus and ignoring the noise (i.e. you, USV, other T1s) vs. increasing shots on goal & pray/spray models that do have high quality dealflow (i.e. YC). Both can be right and wrong depending on who's doing it imo...

I bet it's more likely that you have differing things that you ignore. examples: For earlier stages, don't ignore unstoppable founders. Ignore others. For later stages, don't ignore traction, PMF, and market pull. Ignore others.

Paul's reply sounds like the good ol' spread and pray strategy. Does that startegy only work when you have larger funds and allocate smaller tickets at earlier stages? How much value do VCs add in that case?
