"What to look in an entrepreneur", Neil Sequeira (General Catalyst)

Neil Sequeira, a partner at General Catalyst Parnters, talked to us about characteristics he looks in an entrepreneur:

• SUCCESSFUL BUT STILL HUNGRY
• Diverse in skill sets
• People that can build a team and know how to put together a team
• Nice people ("although difficult to describe, you know who they are")

Noubar Afeyan, Managing Partner at Flagship Ventures, mentioned good characteristics of entrepreneurs last Monday:

• Somebody young and hungry
• Somebody with urgency to deliver
• Somebody that thinks "Why should I wait until tomorrow to do something I could do today"
• Somebody who has tolerance to calculated risk
• Somebody with no fear of unknown
