Chris Dixon possesses a pair of skills that are rarely found together in technology entrepreneurs: he’s as good at picking companies to invest in as he is at building them from scratch. For Chris, there the two activities can’t really be separated. As far as he’s concerned, you can’t be good at building companies if you’re not also good at building and protecting your equity. But what makes Chris especially rare, in addition to his aptitude as a technician/technologist, is his understanding of market valuations, equity structures, and the entire venture-capital process, which gives him a powerful strategic advantage in the marketplace.
Chris was a personal investor in such early-stage technology companies as Skype, Foursquare, Kickstarter, and Invite Media. His Founder Collective is as good as it gets. As a seed-stage venture-capital fund built by a collection of successful entrepreneurs, it has a killer record, and nobody else in the marketplace is more pro-entrepreneur.
