Note from Adam Pisoni
My experience in building a successful startup as well as advising many others has given me a unique perspective when choosing what to invest my money in. For me, looking for the right team is more than looking for people with past proven track records. It also means evaluating the quality and clarity of their thinking as a team. Do they understand their market? Do they understand how to balance growth vs. breadth of offering? Are they data or hypothesis driven and believe in rapid iteration on both he product as well as their organization? What hypotheses are they making that if proved false would likely make them fail?
On top of evaluating teams, I like to spend a lot of time with each company to holistically understanding their product offering. Do they understand their funnels? Have they validated what aspect of their product is seen as the most valuable? Are they focusing on distribution and reducing the friction in their product before users see value.

I do not syndicate all my deals. I tend to pick companies who are doing uncommon things in markets that are not yet saturated with offerings like theirs.
