Venture capital > a talent and technology business

Quote from Video

The important thing for for people to understand about venture capital is in some ways it's not really a financial discipline. I think when the people think of an investment firm they think oh you're dealing with spreadsheets. I think it was um Ben Horowitz, one of our founders who when I first joined sort of said something that has stuck with me for a long time, which is that um venture capital is really a talent and technology business.

Compliance costs > AI startups

Quote from Video

The question I think is how competitive we want the AI ecosystem to be. And if we wanted to be really competitive then I think there's a question about what are the kinds who are the companies who would be really negatively affected by increased compliance costs. Would it make it a lot harder for them to compete?
