Martin Tobias, the founder of Incisive Ventures. With over 25 years of investing, he has identified seven meta themes and developed a screening process that has produced superior returns. This process has grown out of the analysis of hundreds of investments and what has been common among the winners in their characteristics and his decision process.

His direct investments have delivered 3x the returns versus his LP interests in other Venture funds, leading many to encourage him to start Incisive Ventures. Out of hundreds of deals across his desk, only a handful, the ones he is most confident of giving a > 10x return, make the cut as an investment.

He is a serial entrepreneur who has also invested in over 250 companies as an angel, half a dozen as a venture partner at a major VC firm, and he is a limited partner in over a dozen VC funds. He is also the Founder of a leading Angel network, Element8.

In this episode, we talk about:

1. Martin's story & how he started investing
2. 7 meta themes he uses to evaluate a potential investment
3. Why laziness wins?
4. His biggest learnings from 25 years of investing & much more.
