“There is no such thing as a long feedback loop. And the way you choose to shorten the feedback loop is to say, what are the things that are correlated with the outcome that I eventually desire?”- Annie Duke
The Story Behind This Song
Annie Duke told Lenny that when VCs claimed their feedback loops were a decade long, she challenged them: 'Do you invest and then go to sleep like Rip Van Winkle?' After five years at First Round Capital, she helped them build structured decision rubrics. The bridge tells Stewart Butterfield's story — he built Glitch for years, did the math, and wrote to investors with 'dead certainty that Glitch was over.' Two days later he pivoted to Slack.
