Untraditional Talent

Good talent is good talent. How to price not… technical people. And not “business” people either.

In short, I have three points:

  1. The job of venture capitalists was never supposed to be just to invest in tech; it is to invest in risky, undervalued talent.
  2. Technical talent (even the least professionally proven) are aware of their individual market worth.
    1. A “cracked” 17-year-old programmer knows they can raise $3M at, at least $15M post.
    2. Growth kids…. don’t work like that yet.
  3. Good nontechnical talent is hard to find.

The real bet in something like this [have yet to figure out 6/26/2024] is if that last part 50k Users = 50k Viewers is actually true.

I don’t think it’s 1:1, but I do think there’s some math behind it. [WORKING]
