Where is the maximal expression? The notion that power law returns are simply a consequence of decision quality and the upper bound of ROI is an oversimplification that masks the fundamental and omnipresent nature of this distribution.
Pushing for the peak reveals that even with optimal diligence, the asymmetric distribution will persist; the power law is a structural characteristic, not just a result of choices.
This is the terrain on which we play, as evidenced by the fact that even the most successful venture funds, with impeccable decision quality, derive the majority of their returns from a very small number of investments.
Most investments will generate modest or negative returns, which is the nature of the game.
It is about navigating this reality, not treating it as a manipulable side effect.
