to live comfortably 
• Incremental 
improvement on 
something that already 
exists 
• Nice to have not need

Venture backable 
Build something market-changing in a 
minimum $1bn market 
• Differentiated: new 
product or 10x better 
• Sustainable: network 
effects 
• Compelling: solves a real 
problem 
*there are exceptions to every rule, but have a good reason if you think you’ll be one
