Bokksu Featured Among New Impact Offerings – February 3, 2025

The Hidden Flaws of “Pattern Recognition” in Investing

Venture capitalists love to talk about their ability to spot patterns. They claim that by recognizing the traits of past successes, they can identify the next great startup. But this belief in “pattern matching” is more flawed than many VCs would like to admit.
