That’s why investors say they invest in people (bet on the jockey, not the horse), rather than the idea. In my years of advising startups and occasional investing, I’ve seen many great ideas start and fail, but the right team always seems to make good things happen, even without the ultimate idea.

Strategize and evaluate your plans over a long period of time to make “bets” that other businesses miss. Think big, but proceed with only small bets. Experiment, fail, rinse, and repeat. Digital success depends on moving quickly and measuring the impact of changes through tests. Distinguish between test failures and poor execution.

Investors know this, hence the saying “Bet on the jockey (founder), not the horse (idea).” In the beginning all businesses are just people playing out an idea. It’s never the other way around – there is no idea so big that it doesn’t need people to make it succeed. A great jockey is a great role model.

Most people believe that early stage companies should take risks aggressively because there is less to lose and much more to gain with each risky bet or decision. Take an extreme risk once, and you may win the bet. Depending upon the size of each risk, this may be entirely acceptable, as in small bets at the gaming table.
