Key Takeaways
- “Extraordinary careers, when you are junior in venture, do not get built sitting behind a desk in an office behind a laptop. You have to be willing to go meet with founders in person, figure out how to understand their business and how to convince them to even spend time with you when you are not one of the big general partners.” – Delian Asparouhov
- Startups must have a strong vision for the future of the world, and then build towards making that vision the reality
- Young venture capitalists do not focus enough on differentiation; many young VCs spread themselves too thin by focusing on a multitude of sectors
- In venture, you have no moat other than your brand; “US dollars” is the product that you deliver – a product that anybody else can deliver
- The number one thing that Delian has learned from Peter Thiel: There is always a way to structure your argument so that you are on the winning side no matter what
- “People love software because the marginal distribution costs are zero, but perhaps what people need to realize is also that the marginal returns are zero as well because there is no moat.” – Delian Asparouhov
- The only rule of the Founders Fund is that there are no rules
- Over the next 100-200 years, our biggest geopolitical and moral crisis is humanity speciating by way of artificial selection pressures (such as embryonic scoring and CRISPR DNA changing) and natural selection pressures (such as humans existing on new frontiers, perhaps in space)
- Say what you think; it doesn’t really matter how society chooses to react to it
