Core Viewpoint - The article emphasizes the importance of understanding investment dynamics in the primary market, particularly in hard technology sectors, and encourages investors to focus on the perception of projects by partners and decision-makers rather than solely on the projects themselves [3][4][5]. Group 1: Investment Philosophy - Investors should consider what they gain from potential losses, such as improved investment skills and resources [4]. - The notion of "good projects" is subjective; if partners believe a project is good, it is deemed good [5]. - Continuous self-improvement and resource extraction through boldness in investment decisions are crucial [6]. Group 2: Project Evaluation - For top-tier projects, the focus should be on whether they can progress smoothly to an IPO, disregarding other factors like technology and market size [10][11]. - For non-top-tier projects, the critical question is whether the project can fail, and if it cannot, understanding the reasons behind its resilience is essential [12]. - Large funding rounds (e.g., $5 billion or $50 billion) influence the project's survival and the support it receives from stakeholders [12][13]. Group 3: Internal Dynamics and Strategy - In investment firms, competition often comes from colleagues rather than external rivals, making internal positioning vital [17]. - Timing is crucial when proposing projects internally, especially when funds are available or nearing the end of their investment period [18][19]. - Building information asymmetry with partners can enhance an investor's standing and influence within the firm [20][21]. Group 4: Professional Conduct and Perception - Maintaining professionalism and respect towards partners while instilling a sense of caution in them can lead to more equitable dialogues [22]. - In state-owned enterprises, leveraging competitive projects can be a strategic approach to gain visibility and opportunity [23]. - The investment landscape is competitive, and projecting confidence and capability is essential for securing opportunities [26].
