Garry tan is stepping away from the v c fund that he cofounded. He also, i guess, got his start there. So it's sort of a return to a place that he is comfortable with and super excited about.

And then this morning, jen wolfe and brett gibson will become the new managing partners and leade the firm. Ok, lots to digest. Ye, this is a big deal. M, it's a big deal partly because, yes, why? Y c? Of course, incredibly influential.
