- pg 16y agoI think he overestimates the value of connections in this respect. Acquirers are not easily influenced. I don't think any investor can affect e.g. Google's interest in an acquisition by more than a couple percent.

- mattmaroon 16y agoHe mentions Sequoia as an investor in Zynga, but I'm not seeing that on Crunchbase. Wonder if that's an error or if he knows something we don't.
- msuster 16y agoIt was an error - sorry. I meant to put it under KP. thanks for spotting.
