I used to think venture investing is 80% an intellectual test, 20% emotional test. Now I’d say it’s the reverse. I’d say the same about my experiences as a startup founder. Probably true of many other long-term activities.

What’s the emotional part for the investor? Falling in love too soon or waiting too long to write off?

Giving up too early, being overly influenced by external sentiment, acting hastily, losing sight of fundamentals, getting too optimistic, getting too pessimistic, being overeager to do something when sometimes you just have to wait, other times waiting too long…. Etc etc :)

This seems to confirm that founders and investors are really sides of the same human coin.
