Company Catalyst
note/develop🍃
Investors have the most success in Silicon Valley. They're diversified and control the life line of startups (money). Outside the investors is another type of successful individual — The Company Catalyst. When Mark Zuckerberg panicked as he started scaling Facebook, he hired Sheryl Sandberg from Google with the help of Jim Breyer, saying she was the "perfect fit." Company Catalysts are really good at identifying companies that just hit Product Market Fit. They have the right Specific Knowledge -- background, expertise, and references -- to help those companies scale to the next level. Naval Ravikant says these people tend to do the best risk-adjusted over long periods of time.
