Smash Notes

How Does Dave Morin Describe Mark Zuckerberg?

Dave Morin told Jason Calacanis on Angel that Mark Zuckerberg pairs wide reading with rare foresight. Morin pictured him three or four moves ahead, and on more than one board, able to see options other people miss. Zuckerberg could also write the code, which Morin said is unusual in a founder who thinks that way. The other trait is competitive will, a drive and an energy Morin called preternatural, closer to an elite athlete than to a typical executive. He also described a large heart that most people never see. Product reviews could be long. You left having argued every angle over a year of conversations, rather than taking an order the way people describe Steve Jobs.
