AI investment isn’t just about backing the right technology—it’s about backing the right people. Transformative AI ventures require teams that don’t just follow industry patterns but redefine them. That’s why, in my post, I argue that hiring for belief, talent, and resilience is often a stronger predictor of success than experience alone.

This perspective is especially relevant for AI investors looking to identify high-potential teams. The best founders and early hires aren’t always those with the longest resumes—they’re the ones with the conviction to push boundaries and the ability to solve problems that have never been solved before. Curious to hear how others in this group think about talent selection in AI startups.
