Founding teams drive startups forward. If simplicity is key, why do multi-founder teams often outperform solo founders? It’s about momentum. As Paul Graham said, "Startups are like sharks; when they stop swimming, they die." Larger teams are less likely to hit days where progress stalls, avoiding quicksand (Replacements movie reference). For founding teams, we prioritize high-trust, complementary founders who communicate at high bandwidth to minimize complexity as they scale. For solo founders, we focus on their resilience and openness to external ideas, ensuring their organization continues to learn and grow, even on tough days. #VentureCapital #Founders #ForTheBold #Momentum #DueDiligence
