So here's what happens.

You're both strong, confident operators.

You're both used to being the smartest person in the room.

And when you get together,

You're not pushing back on each other's thinking.

You're nodding.

You're saying, yeah, that's the move.

You're building in an echo chamber with really good credentials.

Then your two hits.

You face your first real crisis.

Maybe a deal underperforms.

Maybe an LP relationship starts to go off the rails.

Maybe you disagree on how to handle founder risk in the portfolio.

And suddenly you realize we never actually really talked about how to handle this.

We never asked the hard questions of each other.

We just assumed that we were on the same page.

Because we liked each other and laughed at the same jokes.

Let that sink in.

Most failures don't happen because GPs optimize for competence.

They happen because GPs optimize for compatibility.
