Episode notes
- Underperformant companies valued over a billion dollars are dead until market clearing price is reached
- VCs do not have the raised money, it is with LPs
- LPs charge fees based on committed amount, but don't draw the money until needed
- Private company valuations are assessed using crude techniques
