“Surviving in nature is a lot like venture capital. There are buffaloes, moving in herds across familiar plains, finding safety in numbers, and competing in often-depleted grounds, while investors move in predictable patterns, following well-worn paths in search of unicorns, with FOMO driving decisions over conviction.”

“Meanwhile, the solitary polar bear traverses territories others consider uninhabitable, discovering abundant fishing spots. Their hunting brings specialized repetitive knowledge, allowing them to spot value where herds cannot.”

“After years in venture capital, I’ve noticed that you need a polar bear mentality to thrive in venture. Legendary companies don’t repeat patterns — they create new ones. The best opportunities are hidden from outsiders. Innovation requires the courage to be uncomfortably right when everyone else is comfortably wrong.”
