"The most important quality for an investor is temperament, not intellect."

- WinnieI found reading the Investor playbook very interesting because the topic contains a lot of details. The founder investor startup relationship sounds exciting and risky and balancing it seems a bit challenging. In the presentation about "Convertible loans and startup fundraising" the example is great but I got lost from slide 8"Dealing with investors" because I still don't understand how the 125,000 new shares for Ella came about. I think that if the mathematical calculations of how the equity was divided and kept getting diluted was added to the example, it would make it so much easier to understand.
