The truest thing here is how he explains that so much is dictated my LPs who have dogmatic approaches to how funds should construct, even if historic data says otherwise. The market is dynamic, so must we be.

This deserves a longer form blog post but for now a thread about an idea mentioned in our Q1 LP report.

We have a saying at Altos. Organize our funds around companies — not the other way around.

It sounds simple. In venture, it’s almost heretical.

Part me of is jelly seeing all the cool stuff happening in Texas in Prototown etc.

But the other part of me is happy that Texas exists in America

I wish CA could build more easily and learnt from Texas....but at the very least, our companies can move there to build if need be

🚨 New episode alert!🚨
@EthanChoi7, Partner at @khoslaventures, has one of the most unlikely paths to Sand Hill Road you'll ever hear.

His father was abandoned at a train station in post-war Korea at six. He eventually made it to Sydney, where Ethan grew up, served a church mission, and bought a one-way ticket to the US with no network. He rose to Partner at Accel, and now Khosla.

We get into:

- Why robotics is having its GPT-3 moment right now
- The flip from 80% metrics to 90% founder
- How faith shaped the way he invests
- The real answer to building tier-one relationships
