One of my favorite stories of founders breaking the tired old Silicon Valley pattern matching is that of Tope Awotona and the founding of Calendly: https://lnkd.in/eC5vH9Fp Tope pretty much broke every conventional #VC bias: - He was a single #founder, which many VCs shy away from - He was #based in Atlanta, not Silicon Valley - He was a non-technical founder - He was building a solution in an extremely crowded space - He used an off-shore dev shop to build Calendly, not on-staff, U.S.-based engineers - He graduated from University of Georgia - Terry College of Business, not Stanford or an Ivy League university And despite breaking pretty much every Silicon Valley pattern, Tope built a $3B company that serves 20M+ users worldwide! #StartANewPattern #startups #venturecapital #founders
