This is a weird way of saying “I’m somehow responsible for one of the fastest growing startups”

[Gokul Rajaram @gokulr]

Today I met with the leaders of one of the fastest growing (under the radar) companies in the Valley. We realized I had worked with all three of them at three different prior companies. And now, the three of them together are building an incredible powerhouse, fueled by their experiences at the prior companies.

The talent density and network in the Valley is its greatest strength.

@chamath @JosephJacks_ Isn’t this a good thing? A system that enables the creation of technology that saves billions of lives by ending the world war and preventing future world wars but prevents potentially scammy solutions from existing?

@TheStalwart I agree with your point but you’re kinda making a counter argument. How long did Amazon, Apple and MSFT take to reach $1tn? Also value generated for people doesn’t impact valuation. Apple is worth more than all the airlines combined but I’m sure the airlines provided more value.
