Paul Graham: Great Startup Investors Know When To Break The Rules
Original: Paul Graham Says Best Startup Investors Know When To Break The Rules: ‘There Are Exceptions To Practicall
Y Combinator co-founder Paul Graham argued that the best startup investors recognize when to deviate from standard evaluation criteria, saying 'there are exceptions to practically every rule.' His remarks suggest that rigid checklists can cause investors to miss unconventional but exceptional founders, and that judgment and openness matter more than formula in early-stage investing.
Why now: Graham's contrarian take on investor decision-making resonates with founders and investors debating how much to rely on conventional screening rules.
