Only recognised the last one. It's Steve Jurvetson, from DFJ. He got the one of the first Model S's. Also invested in Tesla.

Only recognised the last one. It's Steve Jurvetson, from DFJ.
He got the one of the first Model S's. Also invested in Tesla.
- mikeyouse 11y ago"Also invested in Tesla" is a bit short... He's on the board at both Tesla and SpaceX (DFJ gave both tens of millions of dollars).. According to his Twitter / Flickr feed, he's probably the world's biggest Musk fan, and probably not just because his investments with Elon made him hundreds of millions in personal wealth.
- tdylan 11y agoWell aware of the history, did not find it immediately relevant. Also, Steve doesn't sell shares of most/any of the companies he invests in, he donates them.
- mikeyouse 11y agoApologies if that came off rude, I get a bit excited with SJ.. I'm almost as much of a Steve Jurvetson fan as many others are Elon Musk fans.. the dude is amazing. He should probably start delivering some of the Tesla event speeches, he's well-spoken but every bit as technical as Elon.
- tdylan 11y agoDidn't think it was rude at all. For what it's worth I enjoy Steve's talks more than Elon's, I think it's fair to say he's the smartest VC out there. Incredible breadth of intellect, and from what it seems, a really cool guy.
