Get Strategic

We invest in Dots, not Lines is a common phrase thrown around in the start up community and Mark Suster has a great post about it here. On the opposite side of the coin, if you hear VCs talking this talk, the create the walk and create lines, not dots.  In other words the success of any project can only been seen over time. Some of my favorite ideas (Kozmo, WebVan or even MLSMapsonline) had promise, but they could not connect the dots of performance vs. time.

Connecting the dots can only be done by sustaining consistency.
