Untraditional Talent
Good talent is good talent. How to price not… technical people. And not “business” people either.
In short, I have three points:
- The job of venture capitalists was never supposed to be just to invest in tech; it is to invest in risky, undervalued talent.
- Technical talent (even the least professionally proven) are aware of their individual market worth.
- A “cracked” 17-year-old programmer knows they can raise $3M at, at least $15M post.
- Growth kids…. don’t work like that yet.
- Good nontechnical talent is hard to find.

The real bet in something like this [have yet to figure out 6/26/2024] is if that last part 50k Users = 50k Viewers is actually true.
I don’t think it’s 1:1, but I do think there’s some math behind it. [WORKING]
