"Over the last seven years, I’ve discovered and invested very early in a handful of highly valuable companies (Wish, Lyft, Zenpayroll, Postmates, AngelList, Plated, Styleseat, Klout, etc.) as well as plenty of disasters."

Any middle ground between "highly valuable" and "disaster"?

I think in most VCs minds, there is no middle ground (ie everything not highly valuable is effectively written off as a disaster).
