Studying Peter Thiel and Founders Fund with Mario Gabriele
1 min read
Summary
In this week’s Not Boring newsletter, Packy explains that studying the ideas and investments of Peter Thiel and his Founders Fund can be helpful to anyone investing in start-ups, but differentiation is key.
He particularly recommends a four-part series written on the Founders Fund by Mario Gabriele for the Generalist entitled No Rivals, which he believes is the best profile of a VC firm ever written, and says that Gabriele is the only person who could have written it.
Gabriele and Packy discuss the lessons that can be learned from Founders Fund, and Packy highlights the importance of authenticity when escaping the competition.
The Hyperlegible episode featuring Gabriele is expected to be the most popular episode of the series so far, and Packy asks subscribers to like it and leave comments so that this can be bent in the right direction.
