As a would-be founder, this new move from A16Z makes me worry they won't focus on helping startups like this anymore.
Anecdotes like this help quell that fear a bit, even if wrongly.
- ALittleLight 8y agoWhy would you want to wrongly quell a fear?
- rattray 8y agoI want to adjust my fear to the real level of risk/uncertainty; in this case, that's still above zero, but the anecdote above helps drop it down.
- sokoloff 8y agoWhy would you assume that wrongly quells the fear? I would tend to assume that the demonstrated character (good or bad, good in this example) of the principals of A16Z would remain the same across the company change.
- ALittleLight 8y agoI'm not assuming anything. The comment I'm replying to states that this helps to quell a fear "even if wrongly". To me, this seems like saying that removing the batteries from your smoke alarm will help you sleep, even through house fires.
