VC Claims They Would Only Invest in Successful Startups -- Groundbreaking Insight

Description

A screenshot of a tweet thread on X.com. The account 'VCs Congratulating Themselves' (@VCBrags, verified, posted Sep 15) shares a Simpsons meme showing the character Poochie/a man in a pink shirt with orange hair doing a facepalm, with the caption 'My goodness, what an idea. Why didn't I think of that?' Below is a quote tweet from 'Sina' (@SinaHartung, verified, posted Sep 15) reading 'If I were a VC, I'd only invest in successful startups'. The combination mocks the banal, survivorship-biased wisdom that frequently circulates in venture capital circles -- the tautological idea of 'just invest in winners' as if identifying them beforehand were trivially easy
