Apollo CEO Marc Rowan on their play to win culture: “How do you keep a company that's been really successful hungry and playing to win?” “Even for me, I'm right 60% of the time max. I fail quickly and fix it quickly. You do not get fired here for making a bad decision. You get fired for not recognizing it or not owning it and not fixing it.” “Every senior professional here has lost money for the firm. If you haven't, you're just not doing enough. You're not taking enough risk. You're not taking enough risk or you haven't done as much for the firm.” “We've normalized the notion of winning as a team and losing as a team.”

Conviction doesn’t live in a data room! At the early stage, you can rationalize your way into or out of almost any deal. There’s always something missing, always a flaw. It doesn't negate the value of doing the work - but the longer I've been an investor the more I've tried to listen to what I call "the pull" - which is just deep conviction in the founder.
