Prospective Teal Fellows sometimes make even better investments because they're earlier.
But now the Teal Fellowship is the establishment.
And oftentimes the entrepreneurs I get, I back, become Teal Fellows later and it becomes this kind of post-facto narrative.
But really, I'm trying to back people that I believe will do amazing things and they have the skills to do that.
But they really tick none of the boxes that even the young people funds look for.
And I like to have the saying, it's better to create your own momentum than chase the hype of others.
And so I think about when I'm deciding to invest in these people, how can I bend the world to make it a success versus is it going to be a success or not?
And that can involve various different things to create momentum.
Oftentimes they're not from San Francisco.
So I say, move into my spare bedroom, move to SF.
I joke with them that their valuation doubles the second they move there.
San Francisco, which is probably true.
If they're not even a US citizen, I say, well, the O-1 visa for extraordinary people exists.
Let me put your visa on my personal credit card as a gift.
Let's get you the O-1 visa and just get them in the momentum thing.
And I say to the entrepreneurs, it's your job to build the product.
It's my job to help with everything else.
And so for me, it's not really about a prediction decision.
It's about, can I push them in the right direction?
That's right.
