That's because sports are inherently competitive endeavors. This isn't necessarily true of startup investing.

What? From my experience startup investing is ruthlessly competitive. Every VC backed startup I have worked at had competitors funded by other VCs.

But it's not competitive in the same way sports are. If you're a basketball team, you only succeed by beating other basketball teams. If you're an investor, beating other investors isn't the definition of your job. It might happen incidentally, but not by definition.
