"I think with the early stage investors, they very much focus on the founding team, the product (compelling demo), and problem it solves….the underwriting itself focuses on how good the idea is, the product seems good and it's like addressing the real problem that people have"
- Patrick Collison, Co-founder, President of Stripe Inc.
"In the short run the market acts as a voting machine; in the long run it becomes a weighing machine"
- Benjamin Graham, Father of value investing
