A former-operator-now-turned-a-VC I know seems to be frequently going into two modes:
Jaded mode: “I’ve seen them all before; none of them worked out. Therefore, your idea is automatically stupid.”
Envy mode: “Founder X is killing it. You know what? I once had the same idea. I could have been that Founder X, and if I were, I’d be doing a better job than that founder right now.”
I get the sense that this person might be in a wrong profession…

Don’t Be Jaded or Envious
