@taobanker Dudes will like this Tweet and then walk into Blank Street coffee for their order after getting bitched out by a 90lb crackhead in Midtown Manhattan
@Investor_NICK_ At the Lifetime in your city you get chicks with margaritas, while us poor souls have to deal with dudes in man thongs at Equinox Hudson Yards
Sam Altman was a failed founder turned successful VC.
The capital allocation seat gave him the pattern recognition and network to be successful today.
CFO of Anthropic was the main driver in how they leapfrogged OpenAi.
The most successful archetypes will be Ai researchers/Technical people, Investors, and ex IB/MBB.
Have not see one Sales person have a Brad Lightcap or Cathy Sun trajectory.
Don’t think so.
The two biggest expansions ( PE JVs) for OpenAi and Anthropic are being led by Ex-Bankers/PE investors and MBB people. It’s going to create a network and flywheel effect.
PE is starting to partner with Elite Tech companies to partner on strategic acquisitions.
Not one person on the GTM is leading these pivotal operations. Yes I know people who went to HSW who are on the GTM teams of the labs, but you still have to look at the alumni that actually holds the keys at these companies and choose which doors to unlock.
@AryanBha22 Lol entirely made up. Most of the guys I know who are doing exactly what’s stated in this post are finance bros. The most prevalent ones are dudes who did LMM PE. A lot of people who are fresh out a M7 MBA have also saturated this investment strategy.
