Episode notes

The amount of pressure just kind of land this plane so to speak it reaches just like crazy heights. So if you have a disagreement about that there is sort of a greater good than any single relationship you have with a founder right at a certain point. The level of scale that you're impacting here becomes way more than just your and your board member or like you know with the way Silicon Valley even even go back to the the bubble We were talking about web ban You know web ban gets liquid goes public trades on the public markets up to eight billion dollars crazy, right?

Benchmark Capital. We tell the tale of the legendary equal partnership that accomplished something no other venture firm can claim: twice it has produced the highest returning fund of its cycle, each time with a 100% different GP lineup. If ever there were a playbook for successful generational transfer of a generational-defining venture firm, this is it. We spend 3.5+ hours digging into how the dotcom “eBay eBoys” transformed into the rockstar Fab Four of the Uber, Instagram and Snap mobile gold rush (spoiler: not by a straight line!), and what the future holds for Benchmark’s next GP generation. If you’re a student of the venture game from any angle — founder, GP, LP, etc — this is a story you need to tune in for!
