Over the past decade, venture capitalists have emerged from the shadows of Silicon Valley and into the spotlight. Figures like Peter Thiel, Ben Horowitz, and John Doerr are often better known than the founders of the billion-dollar companies they back. But what is the secret of venture capitalists, and why, of all types of investors, are only the top VCs able to post consistently positive returns year after year?
After interviewing hundreds of top Silicon Valley VCs and teaching one of the first courses on venture capital at Stanford Business School for more than a decade, Ilya Strebulaev has come to understand that the answer lies in their very specific approach to decision-making, which often seems counterintuitive. For example, in the VC mindset, the planning horizon must be long-term, short-term gains can be ignored, incremental progress is rejected, and failure is also considered an outcome. This approach is fundamentally different from what is observed in most conventional companies. Ilya Strebulaev and Alex Dang formulated nine principles of venture investors that can be applied to making management decisions in a wide range of situations in any industry. They give examples of companies that have used these principles and achieved prosperity.
