Yes VC Partner Caterina Fake is a SuperForecaster, one of the 30 most successful early-stage startup investors in the world according to TRAC. What do these SuperForecasters have in common? Most are in their mid-40s; it takes up to 10 years of active investing in startups before an investor will qualify as a SuperForecaster. They probably didn't go to business school and were likely math, computer science or engineering majors. (Caterina, as listeners of Tim Ferriss know, majored in Renaissance literature!) Almost two-thirds have started one tech company and almost half have started two startups. (Caterina co-founded Flickr and Hunch) They rarely make follow-on investments. The SuperForecaster follow-on rate is close to just 3% (we DO follow-ons and have done many, so this doesn’t really apply to Caterina) They seldom invest in startups with a single founder. SuperForecasters rely on their own judgment. The same two rarely, if ever, co-invest in the same startups.
🙌🏼 Caterina! And 👊🏼 Jyri for the great summary!
