Few people know failure better than venture capitalists. Even the most successful fail much more than they succeed and the best are those, like?Vinod Khosla, who acknowledge that their successes are much rarer than their failures. Another venture capitalist well acquainted with failure is?Peter Gardner, Managing Director of?Wavepoint Ventures, a Menlo Park shop that primarily invests in software, medical technology and clean tech start-ups. I caught up with Peter earlier this week at the engaging?FailCon?conference where he spoke on the Failure of Business Models?panel. ?We?ve had our fair share of failures,? Gardner confessed to me, stressing that one of the greatest assets of Silicon Valley was its tolerance of failure. Sharing Ron Conway?s view on?failure, Gardner explained that rather than being born to succeed, great entrepreneurs are born to be able to deal with failure.Source: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/j6bulu6efk4/
