This stems from a recent conversation I had with a serial entrepreneur friend. He was previously a successful consumer goods founder and is now developing a SaaS company. My first question to him was, "Dude, isn't this boring?" I wanted to understand his motivation for starting this new company. After a two-hour conversation, he began to speak at length about his deep interest in this new field. He was clearly not pursuing "product-market fit" (PMF), but rather the question of "why this is happening," and in the process, he discovered obvious market inefficiencies. Then he asked me, "Why are you still investing? Isn't it boring?" Curiosity is the only cure for boredom, but curiosity itself is incurable. When curiosity is genuine and self-sufficient, it forms a virtuous cycle that never ends. Because you enjoy the process of exploration and problem-solving, without preconceived notions of outcome or emotional attachment to the final discovery. The same applies to investing. Curiosity is the source of strategic growth thinking and the source of lasting happiness. Operators and investors are two distinct roles. The former builds, the latter bets. But the best of both are driven by the same factor: genuine curiosity. May you find your own intellectual love. 🧠❤️
