Happy Monday! Our "The Venture Mind" event last week was a blast ❤️! Professor Ilya Strebulaev shared many fun VC stories including how Bessemer missed investing in Google, and how Sequoia found the founders of WhatsApp by walking the streets of Mountain View! This is my favorite quote: “Being a VC The goal is not to win each time, but rather not to miss the opportunity to win big at least once.” Check out our fun photos.
P.S. This week, my partner Chris McCann is hosting a fireside chat with Priyanka Vergadia, she leads developer relations at Google Cloud - they will chat about best practices for growing and scaling development communities. Join us in SF on June 13! 🗳️ Silicon Valley Investors Are Split between Biden & Trump - Political winds in Silicon Valley are shifting. Vinod Khosla, Reid Hoffman and Marissa Mayer show their support for President Biden vs David Sacks, Chamath Palihapitiya and Doug Leone who are endorsing former President Trump.

Chinese ownership could hamper a company’s ability to sell to the US government. Read on FT. 👋 When Should a CEO Step Down - The CEO of CB Insights fired himself. A very thoughtful tweet by Anand Sanwal. The two questions he asked himself: #1: Am I excited about the type of work that lies ahead? #2: Do I have what the company needs? 📢 How to Pitch Your Fund to LPs - I am hosting this Webinar on Wed!
