Episode notes

I think it's very like gut driven. And if everything works and we serve that great purpose that we're all aiming for, then the financial returns are going to be excellent. But there's no sort of like outcome scenario analysis here. It says like, here's the 10% upside, bull case, bear case. These are all things that, you know, those of us that came from other places had all done.

We sit down with all five current Benchmark GPs for one of their legendary weekly dinners, during which we ask all of the unresolved burning questions from Part 1. How do THEY think about Benchmark v3? What are their day-to-day emotions trying to keep the equal partnership “bending toward greatness? Why is there no growth fund? What does it take to become the next Benchmark GP? Why is there a secret Principal program? We cover all these and much, much more. We also recorded the whole thing on video — which we highly recommend watching even if you normally only listen to the audio feed!
