That is integrity under pressure.

Now I need to be clear about something first.

Integrity is not just about honesty.

Honesty is not hard in this business.

You can tell the truth and still be a snick.

Integrity is standing firm when the stand costs you something.

There are three tests, and you need to see all three before you partner up.

Test number one, can they name a failure?

Not a learning moment, not a pivot, a genuine failure where they got kicked in the teeth, they got it wrong, they face public ridicule, whatever it was.

So if someone can't name a specific decision they got wrong, they're either lying or they've never been tested hard enough to know, and both have no place in a GP.

Test number two.

Did they change systems after or did they just rationalize it?

There's a difference.

Real integrity sounds like I realized my decision on making a founder quality was flawed.

So I completely changed how I vet cultural fit.

Rationalization sounds more like I learned that the next time I'll trust my gut less and listen to my team more.

One is structural change, one is hoping the same system just produces a different result.

And then there's test number three.

Are they willing to make the wrong call if it's the right call?

This is the hardest one to test because it happens at the edge of gray.
