Today’s Pick: The ‘anti-portfolio’
The business of venture capital is usually a pretty serious one. So it was refreshing to see that Bessemer Venture Partners has a sense of humour. Their website contains an amusing list of investments they have passed on over the years – what they are calling their ‘anti-portfolio’. A bit tongue-in-cheek, but a terrific window into the thinking of long-time experienced investors make when making investment decisions that don’t quite pan out.
