When I look at early-stage investments, three factors usually point to future success.
The quality of the team is crucial. Founders need a deep understanding of their sector, execution capability, and the determination to succeed. Next, market potential is key; size, growth, and low competition can lead to significant returns. Finally, product-market fit is vital. When a company’s offering aligns with market needs and maintains sound economics, sustainable growth is achievable. These three elements often result in high-performing companies.
