Principles That Outlast Trends

His approach is defined by a few core truths that separate legacies from trends:

1. There must be a real problem to solve.

If a product doesn’t solve a true market problem, it’s not innovation—it’s noise.

The market decides what matters, not needless features in a plan.

2. The addressable market must be undeniable.

Great companies are built in categories with depth, demand, and staying power.

A massive market with real need creates long-term value; hype does not.

3. Invest in what you know.

Category expertise gives insight to anticipate the hidden risks and avoid the mistakes that sabotage
most first-time investors.
