Fred Wilson runs a great blog. He replied to questions about entrepreneurs and the answer I liked most was this one:
“What do you look for in entrepreneurs? First and foremost, they need to be magnets. For talent. For money. For attention. And for much more. ” Remind me next time I invest in a company to take my magnetometer along, or better still, follow the example of 3i (before they gave up investing in small companies) and take lots of references to get an idea of the strenght of the magnet field surrounding an entrepreneur. Better than measuring the ego! Perhaps we should measure the number of mobile phone calls/messages received every hour.
