Name another VC that wears spurs
- rainbowmverse 9y agoI'd never heard of him before this since I don't pay much attention to VC. Introducing the person you're talking about is always a good idea when writing about them.
- Judgmentality 9y agoSometimes I think people in the Valley don't realize they live in a microcosm. I had never heard of Chris Sacca before Shark Tank, and I've raised venture capital in the Bay Area before.
- gfitz 9y agoJust making a joke about his distinct style. I should've put his name in the title but most of HN seems to be catching on.
- fao_ 9y agoI had never heard of Shark Tank, or any of the people mentioned so far in this thread until I stumbled upon a mispost somewhere on Hacker News. I don't get why people would watch that. The investors came off as idiots.
- Clownshoesms 9y agoHadn't heard of it either. Sounds like a very greedy guy that just has to blog about his trials and tribulations, and explain just how his greed is actually "drive" and "working hard". This VC kowtowing is sickening.
- derefr 9y agoThe title wouldn't instantly tip me off, because generally I would assume it was a metaphor. But yes, Chris Sacca actually wears spurs.
