VC’s and survivorship bias

Survivorship bias is everywhere in all human endeavour – politics, economy, war, love, business etc

In VC it manifests in the ‘home run’ / ‘picking genius’ story

“’The thesis was ___________ and look at what happened”.

What happens to the majority of companies that just did ok. Or didn’t make it?

It’s a Darwinian jungle out there folks :)
