His investment track record is relevant, but that only tell part of a story. I'll also need to know the other side, his failure.
His education, the fact that he is a chessmaster, and that respectable people think he's smart is irrelevant. There's ton of smart people like him but they're not going to be wise in investment and strategy.

Paypal, Facebook, Palantir, Slide, Yammer, Path, Stripe... that's a pretty solid investment record. Do you disagree with something he says? If so, can you back it up with anything?
