Investment instincts are often shaped by hidden assumptions that skew founder evaluations and deal selection. This course teaches VCs to identify bias patterns and use structured, evidence-based methods.
Objectives:
- Identify how assumptions influence founder evaluations and deal selection
- Recognise patterns like affinity bias and groupthink in investment decisions
- Use structured evaluation tools to assess opportunities consistently
- Weigh evidence objectively rather than relying on instinct or first impressions
- Encourage diverse viewpoints during decision discussions to reduce blind spots
