It communicates important entrepreneurial management practices, such as how your venture will mitigate risk, and how your venture will manage uncertainty. Most importantly, new business venturing is now about focusing on creating sustainable value.

You may go through some periods where nothing seems to work. You will need to sacrifice time that would otherwise be free to spend with family and friends while you build your business up, and perhaps even after you have built up. Famous entrepreneurs

Most people would tell you it is a tolerance for risk, and most people would be wrong. Having studied 22 years of performance data on more than 7,000 growth companies, I discovered that the idea that entrepreneurs are, by definition, risk takers is a myth. Curiously, many entrepreneurial leaders actually lose their nerve as they become successful. That may sound like a reasonable trade-off, but this tendency can hurt a firm’s chances for long-term success and growth.

I too come to a toss-up when weighing this research vs. real world examples. I do find it hard to believe that experience doesn't diminish the potential for disaster due to variable out of an entrepreneur's control. Some degree of response and recovery mechanism surely develops over time. Good read, though! Well enjoyed.

Hi Nic, just wonder, before you decide in what start-up to put your money and time in, what are the factors you are looking at? Certain skills, knowledge or attitudes of the entrepreneur? Because if there is a set of factor you look at so maybe it’s not so relevant if the entrepreneur is serial or novice? if you could have a wish list from behavioral scientist come true, what would be the tool that might help you to make better choices as a venture capitalist?
