. Cognition CEO Scott Wu might be the upper bound for smart technical founders. Fun experiment: put every Mag 7 and F500 CEO through this same test. I'd go long the companies whose CEOs score the lowest. The best businesses are the ones that can be run by a... dumb operator. Still, the fastest way for a leader to earn respect from their team and community is being hardcore ;))show more

@cognition @ScottWu46 The idiot-proof business test works for mature companies. At the early stage it flips: you back the outlier founder, and their job is building a company that eventually doesn't need one.

@cognition @ScottWu46
