Miles: I want to do a big topic we really wanted to cover with you guys in this session is staying focused on early stage, not having a growth fund. And I actually think this is a good entry into it. So Peter, the story you just told of like when things are not going right, the benchmark approach, I'm actually really curious when things are going right. Why? Can we ask Miles you were the newest to join; he's going to try and change that. Yeah. Best mark growth. We've got an even bigger name up there. How far can we stretch this trend?
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!
