To invest in a company, you must also have the right gut feeling, but it is difficult to explain what it means. It’s when you are in front of greatness that you understand. Often, and it’s one of the best things about our work, we meet extraordinary founders: while listening to them, you have the same feeling as when you finally solve a riddle, or when you put the last piece of a puzzle.
