- Esophagus4 1y agoFair point. But I will say that Saquon has access to deal flow that most of us will never have access to (they mentioned Anthropic and Stripe, for example).
- darth_avocado 1y agoAnd that was my original point. > If I had access to private markets like startups, it would be worth even more.
- Esophagus4 1y agoIf you (a retail investor) had access to private markets, they wouldn’t be private markets, they’d be public markets.
- slg 1y agoYes, I have made the same argument elsewhere in this thread saying there is little reason to believe Saquon's record of successful investing is due to anything but luck (and access due to his celebrity)[1], but at the very least he does have a track record of actually making those investments while your comment was purely a retroactive hypothetical.
