The hardest part of early stage investing isn't finding the deal. It's taking a bet on a view when everyone around you disagrees with it. Most of the best investments I've seen look obviously wrong for at least 12 months before they look obviously right.

The founders I back early almost never have the perfect pitch. They have a specific obsession they can't stop thinking about and a level of detail on one small problem that makes everyone else in the room feel behind.
