Episode notes

We reached out to Brinton brad joe and john at ncs capital to propose the idea of doing a paid sponsorship. When they jumped on it, they told us hey, we've got a caveat for you You can't really do your normal thing and you know Sing the praises of the product. That's not what we want you to do with this Although I would say if you're talking about fab fours, you know, I'm just saying We just want feedback. But first of course, what is ncs capital? They're along only global Public equity fund that manages money for institutional and accredited investors The team worked together for many years at another much larger firm before starting

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!
