“And so if you know an investor is actually interested in your company and is talking to you for the right reasons, being asked the question, who else is investing your round? I think it's a totally fair question. And on the investor side, like you really want …”

Insight
Jeff Morris Jr.: Angels cannot afford to be overly price sensitive
“I think for an angel looking at companies, you can't be too price sensitive because really the opportunities are fewer and harder to find. So when I see a dealer company that I love, I'm normally not as price sensitive just because I want to get in business wi…”

Jeff Morris Jr.: True contrarianism stems from deep expertise, not posturing
“Really what it means to me is you just wanted to become an expert, and you're so obsessed with some topic that you decided to learn more about it than everyone else, and that's really what it comes down to. I think everyone wants to claim they're contrarian, b…”

Insight
Jeff Morris Jr.: Operator-investors can only compete with VCs through extreme focus
“So rather than being kind of a generalist, the only way I can have any edge in terms of competing with other venture capitalists is if I really go deep on one or two topics.”

Nov 19, 2018 negative
Insight
Founders should treat investor product advice as just another data point
“The one thing founders must know is that investors advice is another data point. So you have all these data points to consider when you're building products and really you shouldn't give it any extra weight because it comes from an investor.”

Jeff Morris Jr.: Product managers should apply portfolio theory to decisions
“And one piece that I'd like to add to that list is, is portfolio theory. So I think every product manager should have some sense of the portfolio of products they want to build and really apply an investor's mindset to making those decisions.”

Insight
Angel investors require more conviction to be contrarian than institutional VCs
“As an angel investor, it's a lot more risky because it's your own money, and if you make a bad bet, that's money you'll never see again, and you know, most of us aren't making management fees, and we're kind of getting by the returns that we make for ourselves…”

Insight
Jeff Morris Jr.: Founders consistently underestimate customer willingness to pay
“You can always charge a little more than you think customers are willing to pay. And I saw Adam Draper mentioned, you can charge four X the amount that you think customers are willing to pay. I think that's probably a little bit high, but I do think we underes…”
