10 Things to look for in an Entrepreneur

January 28th, 2009 · No Comments

A couple weeks ago I went to a talk by David Rose of Rose VC.  After the talk a group of people stayed behind to hear him talk and ask questions.  One of the questions asked what David looks for when he invests in a company and what attracts him.  Here is David’s list of 10 things he looks for in an Entrepreneur:

  1. Integrity
  2. Passion
  3. Experience starting companies
  4. Domain Experience
  5. Skills – Finance, Mkt, HR, Sales
  6. Leadership
  7. Vision – want to create something big
  8. Realism
  9. Commitment
  10. Coachability
