You ask them, walk me through a time when you did the thing that was right but looked wrong.
When you made a move and half of your advisor thought you were completely nuts, but you had to do it anyways because the principles inside of you demanded it.
You wanna let that sink in.
Really make sure you do it.
And if you can identify this in someone before you partner with them.
You can't trust them in a crisis.
And your fund will have a crisis.
That's not pessimism.
That is private equity business incarnate.
Every fund runs into a moment where the easy call and the right call are not always the same.
And if your partner has not demonstrated the integrity, they will not make the right call.
They will take the call that keeps them comfortable.
See, when I was building my first fund, I had a co-founder candidate who was phenomenal on paper.
Incredible track record, deep relationships, exactly the right skill set in deal sourcing.
But I asked him to tell me about a time he made a hard call that hurt him.
And he couldn't.
Not because he didn't try.
He literally could not access a memory on it.
So I passed on that partnership.
And it was the best decision I ever made.
