Scott Belsky has a great quote about how group consensus often results in an outcome that represents a reversion to the mean. Internal conviction > external consensus. I believe the same thing applies to venture capital — The more people required to make an investment decision, the closer the outcome of that decision reverts to the mean. Exceptional outcomes require individual decisions made by exceptional people.

Yet, the VC is a herd and the decisions either are based on fomo or external consensus. "when charting new terrain, internal conviction" apply only for founders and teams.

How about when you create multiple zero-to-one components in your marketplace model? Elements most investors can't understand. What we need are zero-to-one VCs/investors.
