Your startup has started, even if you don’t know what it is yet: Charlie O’Donnell

To mark a year since the founding of Brooklyn Bridge Ventures, Charlie O’Donnell wrote on his blog about how the best startup leaders are working on an idea that emerged from their real world experiences:

That’s how I’m often able to approve an investment or turn it down so quick–it’s more obvious than you think whether someone is the right person for the task at hand.  Often, they tell me all I need to know when I hear their origin story.  Why you?  Why this idea?  You want to hear someone that’s been developing into the right person to run this company for years.
