Jason M. Lemkin says you can spot exceptional founders in 20 minutes by watching how they communicate, share data, and present metrics. Clarity and how they articulate their vision matter more than volume of information.
And, you know, to finish the thread, if you're curious, like, you know, you can meet a thousand founders a year. You can meet one like the other one. The other ones don't matter.

Not always, but often. Right? The way they communicate, the way they share data, the way they share metrics, the way they share their vision. Not all of them, but so many of the best ones are so crystal clear on how they're going to get there, why they're going to get there. Those are the ones that you want to invest in, and those are the ones you want to work for as a VP or a leader. You want to.
