Benchmark Part II: The Dinner

We sit down with all five current Benchmark GPs for one of their
legendary weekly dinners, during which we ask all of the
unresolved burning questions from Part 1. How do THEY think about
Benchmark v3? What are their day-to-day emotions trying to keep
the equal partnership “bending toward greatness? Why is there no
growth fund? What does it take to become the next Benchmark GP?
Why is there a secret Principal program? We cover all these and
much, much more. We also recorded the whole thing on video —
which we highly recommend watching even if you normally only
listen to the audio feed!
