The Real Criteria

Yeah, I have the ROI system. But there's more to it.

Financial Due Diligence

  • Can they 10x in 5 years?
  • Is the TAM big enough?
  • Do unit economics work?

Team Assessment

  • Have they built something before?
  • Do they take feedback?
  • Are they coachable?

Market Timing

  • Is this the right moment?
  • What's the macro environment?
  • Who else is playing here?

Gut Check

After all the analysis, does it feel right?

My Hit Rate

60% fail. 30% return 1-3x. 10% return 10x+.

That 10% more than makes up for everything else.

High risk, high reward. That's the game.
