Investment Principles
Time
Time diversity is as important as asset diversity. Aspects reveal themselves over time.
Wade
We prefer to wade into the pool vs. cannonball.
Asymmetry
Is this an opportunity that is natural to who/where we are? What do we bring that is special to the table?
Win:Win
How many ways can we all win? Learning, new relationships, new insights, etc.
Secrets
What secret (not evenly distributed insight) do we have that gives us an edge?
People
Who are the people? Values and what drives them. Do they have high EQ and a Record of Achievement.
1%
What could blind side us?
