Episode notes

I think the story with Peter is like he was repeatedly showing up competing for investments that benchmark before he was here was working on. You were walking out the door as they were walking. The way in is something that's common what we've heard for the people we've recruited. But it's that they don't want to join a venture firm. Like the only firm they could imagine being at would be benchmark. And so like that's telling, you know, the story with Miles is Miles was there before, like he invested in eventually before us and super great before us and was early on the air table at the same time.

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!
