As usual, AYZ has dropped another brilliant piece.

He starts by firmly disclaiming that itโ€™s not financial advice, but the moment I read it, I couldnโ€™t help but go ahead and invest lol. https://t.co/VMwMshEdYu

Marc Andreessen on the 3 things he looks for when investing in a startup

The first thing Marc Andreesen looks for is a big market:

โ€œIs there a big existing market that you think you can go after and displace incumbents? Or do you believe there will be a new market that will be big?โ€

The second thing he looks for is a 10x better product:

โ€œIs there a fundamental technology or economic change that justifies a new company? And the way I always think about that is: Is there a 10x change happening in the technology landscape? Is something 10x faster, 10x cheaper, or 10x better? If itโ€™s not 10x, we as both VCs and entrepreneurs have to ask ourselves if itโ€™s really worth doing because itโ€™s really hard to start new companies . . . Existing companies are usually pretty good at what they do. So for a new company to exist, it has to bring a product to market thatโ€™s so much better than what exists that it punches through the status quo.โ€

The third is the team:

โ€œIs the team outstanding? . . . You want to have a founding team of complementary skillsets. You want to have at least one super strong technologist โ€” quite possibly more than one. Some of the best startups are actually more than one founding technologist. And then it often helps to have someone who is a marketing or salesperson who has a really good understanding of business.โ€

Marc believes that you need all three of these, but if youโ€™re going to compromise on one of those as an investor, it should be the product:

โ€œA great market is a lot easier to make up for with iterative product execution. The problem with a poor or small market is that even if you do a good job on the product, there just arenโ€™t that many customers so itโ€™s hard to ever get big and people get demoralized . . . And then we evaluate the team of a startup by its ability to get into a big market with a good product.โ€

Dev Kantesaria is famously known for having very little trading activity โ€” and an exceptional long-term track record.

When asked what his โ€œsecret sauceโ€ is to staying away from the sell button, his answer was simple:

Focus on ๐›๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ข๐ง๐ž๐ฌ๐ฌ ๐ช๐ฎ๐š๐ฅ๐ข๐ญ๐ฒ.

โ€œItโ€™s a much easier way to make money, itโ€™s more tax efficient, and itโ€™s a more predictable way to make money. So the lack of turnover is really nothing other than a natural outcome of how we think about business quality.โ€

Dev credits the Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger playbook โ€” avoid short-term trading (speculation) and instead own companies that can compound intrinsic value year after year for decades.

This ties closely to Chris Hohnโ€™s emphasis on long-termism.
