This is probably like the equivalent of uh, you know three four or five hundred million dollar Yes, it is the best returning fund of that caliber of venture fund in history. I think lowercase fund one chris saka's fund but nothing of this size 85 which With inflation today is probably like 150 160 and with venture inflation of how much these funds have grown Think about it like the way you would think about how newsworthy a 500 million dollar fund is in today's environment.

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!
