Yeah. I'm much happier working on products. I'm not going to be a full-time investor -- I'm not suited for it. I mostly started out doing some angel investing to see if it was for me.

I think the main problem here is that I see problems and I immediately want to solve them. The goal for an investor is not to find and solve good problems but to bet on good teams. As Josh Kopelman says, it's about the chef, not the ingredients.

So mostly you end up saying "no" a whole lot. If you give an explanation as to why you don't like it, many entrepreneurs will simply change the details and then expect money, so you can't even generally give a reason. I think I spoke to north of 90 companies to consider even the eight deals I have done. Between that and incoherent summaries, MBAs with just a powerpoint deck, etc, I just get too tired.
