There’s an arbitrage opportunity in discovering people who are great at what they do but weak at selling themselves, describing their career ambitions, or even finding the right roles for them in the first place.

@eriktorenberg That would probably also require "good on paper" signaling mechanisms like "name-brand college", "name-brand past employers" and "SAT scores" go away.

@eriktorenberg One answer is just to build better analytics for team impact. There's some interesting methods if you know where to look.

@eriktorenberg More than arbitrage. If you can do this, even if you can’t do anything else, it should be enough to make you very successful. But it’s a lot harder than it sounds.

@eriktorenberg And a shorting opportunity for the opposite Kidding Definitely agree, and I think this is really where strong mentors are really great and helpful. But finding avenues for people that are bad at selling themselves to shine is super hard

@eriktorenberg still surprised no company has formalized this for entrepreneurs with crazy good businesses that don’t even know it or can’t describe it.

@eriktorenberg Agree, think this is especially true for careers that are, by nature, very focused (ie developer, designer, engineer, etc). I think these folks will have even more opportunity moving forward as platforms like @Behance become even MORE popular and the work itself sells.
