#ICLUB_knows What’s the first rule of venture investing? Diversification. On average, 20-30% of startups in an investment portfolio may fail. Putting all your capital into a single company is far from the best strategy. Spreading investments evenly across at least five, ideally ten, startups significantly increases your chances of generating returns and mitigating risk. video source: $100M Startup podcast by Eugene Gusarov https://lnkd.in/eb4HwNcK
