What an excellent article! It gives readers an inside look behind the "Sand Hill Curtain" and shows that these guys put their pants on one leg at a time just like the rest of us. It also shows that even at this level of the industry there is no blanket formula for success, no guarantee. No matter how much research, preparation, fact checking, linear regression analysis etc...is done, it still is a crap shoot and one's "gut" still plays an important role in the mix. That fact alone is enough to give the little guy with the oddballest idea hope and the will to try!
