For love or for money?

by Brian Magierski on August 20, 2009

In entrepreneurship, it had better be for love. I could not resist posting this video clip of John Doerr speaking about missionary founders/CEOs vs. mercenary founders/CEOs, and why they only invest in the missionary types. Hat tip to Larry Cheng’s blog where I found this video … Larry also identifies one of the top missionary founder CEOs of our time, Jeff Bezos.

    Money, while important, is only part of the score-keeping formula. Big ideas with passionate leaders *always* win out. See my latest post about “Getting excited…” and how it leads to “high scoring,” so to speak: http://budurl.com/l3tz. Thanks for the video, Brian.
