1b vs no money but big network? 1b wins. You have no capital. I think it gets interesting around: 1 billion vs 500 million. Still put m money on a 1 billion

1b vs no money but big network?
1b wins. You have no capital.
I think it gets interesting around:
1 billion vs 500 million. Still put m money on a 1 billion and buying access to a network for less than 100 million.
- duxup 7y agoCould be. I do wonder what the professional relationships type situation is with the network. I suspect someone at Sequoia can call some buddy at another place if he has a question and get some good information "No man that dude is bonkers / reckless." that might save them a lot of time. Same goes the other way. Not sure how much good info I get calling up Sequoia "Hey man I got a $1b ... what do you know about...."
- omarchowdhury 7y agoWell, you'd put $10M of the $1 billion into Sequoia and then ask "what do you know about"...
- duxup 7y agoI think they might be a bit more picky about my 10 mil to start and less than forthcoming.

- lisper 7y ago> 1b wins. You have no capital. If you have a good network you can raise capital. It all you have is capital you can't buy a network.
- kenneth 7y agoGetting returns when you're investing 500M is easier than when you're investing 1B. Just ask Softbank how they big-check strategy is working for them. Note: I run a 50M AUM VC.
