But will it be successful? The PayPal Mafia were successful in their other pursuits. And not just successful, but all founded their own companies valued > than databricks (I think, based on rough memory of their valuations).
- adventured 4y agoIt's a mixture, most have not been anywhere near as highly valued as Databricks. Databricks $28 billion SpaceX & Tesla (~$120 billion & $421 billion) LinkedIn sold for $26.5 billion Yelp $2 billion YouTube sold for $1.65 billion Those are the major companies. Most of the PayPal mafia went on to do angel investing or work for VC firms.
- eddsh1994 4y agoFair point, and I would love databricks guys to do similar because rising tides etc Still amazing a group all went on to so many things - maybe like the guys at PARC
