A group led by San Francisco 49ers limited partner Vinod Khosla has agreed to purchase the Seattle Seahawks for $9.6 billion, a record sale price for an NFL franchise, per @SethWickersham and me.
How is that not a penalty on Wyndham Clark there? He plucked blades of fescue from the ground in area he was about to drop in. Not like its a loose impediment.@USGA
Fleetwood is dressed like he's about to tell me how he skipped 1975 World Series between the Boston Red Sox and the Cincinnati Reds to "see about a girl"
@KendoVT Chill. He just lost the Masters by a shot and is still the best player in the world by every statistical metric. Scottie gains 2.9 shots per round on the field (next closest is Rory at 2.07). Almost a full shot better than Rory per round even in a slump!
“So you bootstrapped the whole company?”
“Yeah, I turned it down. Turned down the funding.”
“Oh.”
“Yeah, I turned it down just to do this, just to grind it out, build it myself.”
“So you had an opportunity to take venture money?”
“Yeah, a term sheet and everything.”
“From who?”
“Yeah, a big fund out in Menlo Park. It was a top-tier firm, though. And they offered me like 15, some shit like 10 billion or something like that, 5 billion, something like that.”
“Wait, wait, wait. A term sheet.”
“Yeah.”
“Okay, but not 5 billion dollars. They offered you 5 billion dollars for your seed round?”
“Yeah.”
“For a seed round?”
“Yeah.”
“What are we doing here?”
“Like, what the y’all, like, you know what I’m saying?”
“That’s more than the GDP of a small country.”
“But I was so younger, like, I didn’t know what a cap table was.”
“Are you sure they offered you 5 billion dollars?”
“I turned it down.”
“You didn’t even have a product.”
“It was a SAFE, like, I had to give up equity for this decade.”
“But you would get $5 billion?”
“Yeah.”
“You’d be one of the most valuable companies on earth.”
“It was somewhere, it was in the billions, though.”
