Here is my scorecard for the TC50 at the end of day 1. Basically I am trying to see how well I score on judging these guys.
Fail: For one reason or another I feel this company will fail. Either a bad idea, bad execution, or a bad team. Failure is defined as either not doing great revenue a few years out, or not being acquired. Fire-sale asset acquisitions count as failures.
Hit: You’ll know it when you see it. These are companies either posting huge revenue, or getting acquired. Keep in mind I think some of these companies that will be Hit’s will not necessarily become a household name, but the technology or IP will be acquired for a gazillion dollars.
