Relationships Matter

Fred Wilson has a post up called “A Return to Royalty?” in which he talks about the fact that if Hillary Clinton is elected, then the past four Presidents will have come from just two families. To tell the truth, I don’t find this surprising at all. I think in any endeavor, success is always clustered. VCs tend to work with entrepreneurs who work with other successful executives and they tend to succeed over and over again. Families who succeed publicly tend to have a certain definition of success and this gets imprinted on their children. Relationships matter all over the world.

    This is a great point, and one that I missed when I first read Fred’s post. The same can be said for sports (I hate the Mannings…), arts, etc. However, I think it is particularly true in politics where relationships are critical.
