I met 273 start-up founders last year.
And each one was looking for money.
As a tech investor, my goal was to sort through everyone that I met and make a quick determination about which ones had the potential to make something really big.
But what makes a great founder?
This is a question I ask myself daily.
Some venture capitalists place bets based on a founder's previous background.
Did they go to an Ivy League school?
Have they worked at a blue-chip company?
Have they built out a big vision before?
Effectively, how smart is this person?
