what this means is you should invest in (and also hire, date, be friends with) infinite players - people who play the infinite game, not the finite one they don’t play to win - they play to expand the game that’s why only infinite players create entirely new categories they see
The secret to investing is to invest in unstoppable people building inevitable things.

correct. i love being a founder, but when i was at apple, it was always funny hearing founders with no customers tell me how i could be having "more of an impact"

many are saying this.
Steve is the best designer I know. He's deeply humble, sharp, driven by great work and has always gone out of his way to lift up others. I owe so much of what I've learned about design to him. I'm so optimistic in what this means for the future of design at Apple.
