Before the strategy, before the team, before the pivot.

Look inward.

Let's play BIG! Bet on the person not the pitch!🔥🔥

A company I backed 15 years ago just sold for $3.6 billion.

And honestly? I couldn't fully explain what they build today.

Sounds crazy for an investor to admit.

But it's the whole reason I made the bet in the first place.

See, everyone thinks investing is about spotting the right idea.

I've never once bet on an idea.

Rewind to 2011. I'd just moved to San Francisco.

Met this founder at an event - Eoghan. Irish guy who'd packed up his whole life and moved across the world to build his thing.

He came by the office and showed me a prototype.

I understood maybe half of it.

Didn't matter. Because I wasn't looking at the prototype.

I was looking at him.

"Bro, you're smart. This is awesome. I'm in."

On the spot.

The company? Intercom.

Over the next decade, they raised a small fortune. Tens of millions. Maybe a hundred plus.

And every so often, an email would land in my inbox:

*"Dan, want to sell your shares?"*

Every time, I'd fire off one message to Eoghan.

"You still in?"

"Yep."

That's all I needed. I held.

Now here's the wild part.

The company I backed in 2011 barely resembles the one that exists today.

The product changed. The market changed. The whole business flipped when AI hit and Eoghan bet everything on it.

The one thing that never changed?

Him.

Fast forward to last month: Salesforce agreed to buy them for $3.6 billion.

When the wire lands, it'll be an incredible payday.

But I want you to catch what actually made it work.

**Bet on the person. Not the pitch.**

Ideas are fragile. Markets shift. The "sure thing" you back today can look like a disaster three years from now.

People who refuse to lose? They just… figure it out.

They pivot. They rebuild. They bet the whole company on a technology that didn't even exist when they started.

That's what I actually invested in.

Not a chat widget. Not an AI agent.

A guy who was never going to walk away.

So when people ask me for my big "investment thesis," here it is:

Find someone who'd run through a wall for their vision. Back them. Then get out of the way.

Oh, and one more thing.

This works whether you ever write a check or not.

The best bet you'll ever make isn't on a company.

It's on becoming the kind of person someone would back without blinking.

The one who doesn't flinch when it gets ugly.

The one who's still standing - still building - long after everyone else moved on.

Be that person.

The rest has a funny way of working itself out.

Big lesson: match the energy.

Hindi na uso yung ikaw lahat, sila wala.
Hindi na rin cute yung always available pero pag ikaw na, ghosted.

Bigyan mo lang ng gift yung mga nagbibigay din. Effort goes to people who actually show up. Time is for those who make time back.

Hindi ito pagiging madamot 🙂
it’s choosing peace, self-respect, at hindi na people pleaser era.

This generation is tired of overgiving.
So yes, we match energy now. Period. ✋🏻
