    My investment criteria: 1. Are the founders top 0.01% entrepreneurs? 2. What does this team understand about the market that other teams don’t? 3. What is the biggest risk to the company, and can the team solve it? 4. If it works, how big of an impact will this company have?

    12/ The primary determinant to winning dogfights was observing, orienting, planning, and acting faster; in other words, how quickly one could iterate. Speed of iteration, Boyd suggested, beats quality of iteration.

    11/ A strong sense of urgency and bias toward speed Boyd’s Law of Iteration states that “speed of iteration beats quality of iteration”. It was based on dogfighting between MiG-15 vs. F-86 fighter jets, but quickly applied to software development. blog.codinghorror.com/boyds-law-of-i…
