The duration of growth ends up being more important than just the growth rate over a short period of time. This is a really great white paper to read if you find it fascinating You can read the whole thing by clicking the link in the show notes It is totally worth reading in full and we say that just because we are fans of their ideas We are not clients of nz s But as I mentioned, they'd really do want feedback So of course you can read the white paper and then send them email And I think their emails are on the front of the white paper, but even betterWe did a zoom call with them a few weeks ago and we're going to do another one

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!
