Recognizing large upside can outweigh risks, Nicole DeTommaso notes

Recognizing large upside can outweigh risks, Nicole DeTommaso notes
Venture capital’s risk-reward challenge

Nicole DeTommaso emphasizes that the most difficult aspect of venture investing is not identifying potential reasons for a startup’s failure.

According to DeTommaso, finding faults or risks is relatively straightforward. The true challenge lies in determining when the potential upside is significant enough to justify investment even when risks are present.

DeTommaso has previously argued that venture capital often tolerates a high rate of incorrect decisions if a few investments deliver outsized returns, as described in an earlier article. She has also highlighted that the industry’s focus on rapid mark ups may create misalignment with limited partner interests, according to her recent commentary. These views provide context for her perspective on investment risk and potential upside.
