You need to specify how and when you’re going to get the evidence. It’s like if a doctor said “Wait for evidence of diabetes” and just left it at that. Instead, they specify whether they’re going to a) do a test b) watch and wait, with scheduled follow-up c) do nothing. And that seems right for EA Ventures too. For startups, you can’t really not reject them, not do a test and not follow-up.

I completely agree and this is basically our plan with respect to feedback for entrepreneurs.
