Investing Like a Poker Player
Professional poker players don't win by picking the right hand every time.
About this session
Professional poker players don't win by picking the right hand every time. They win by managing their bankroll, playing many hands and putting in more chips as the cards are revealed. Kamal Hassan, Managing Partner of Loyal VC, explains why the same discipline works in startup investing. You'll learn how to make better decisions when the outcome is uncertain and only becomes clear over time.
- Why most startup investments lose money, and why that's expected
- Bankroll thinking: how to size positions and stay in the game
- Folding, calling and raising: how to make follow-on decisions as information comes in
- How to avoid the classic mistakes that sink new investors
- How Loyal puts these principles to work across a 500+ company portfolio
