Investor Series | How do you avoid over-penalizing first-time founders?
Event Description: Many investors say they back first-time founders yet bias often shows up quietly in how risk is assessed.
This session is a peer conversation about:
Pattern bias and pedigree bias
When “experience” is overrated
How investors miss non-obvious upside
This is not about ideology. It’s about returns and judgment.
This is for you if:
You invest early and broadly
You care about widening your aperture
You want to challenge your own defaults
