"I just believe Kan when he says that the ones who are actually worth their fee won't work on a 10MM deal." That really sounds a bit like "anyone good works for XYZ" (pick some of the usual suspects) or "all to

"The implication is that they typically can't add $200,000 of value to a 10MM deal. One possible reason is that the 8-figure deals are pretty specialized and obscure, and it's hard for a banker to know the right valuation for

Not a fair comparison to google which is a company Musk is a person and the story isn't framed as "Musk Company branching into xyz" but "Elon Musk" branching into different companies. Separately google is highly pro

Musk is spread to thin. Period. Any one of his ventures is a full time job. Hard to understand what type of personality needs to branch out on in different areas as he has. And how can you make good decision, no matter who you are, or what

Regardless of the PR angle I found it valuable and it got me thinking of a few similar ideas. Also I don't think this compares to the "suits are making a comeback" at all in the sense that it's at least a new and unique

As a concept this is a good idea and can be applied to righting other "wrongs". For example there have always been companies that will audit utility bills for companies (and possibly individuals) but they are not widely known to t

I fully support that it's a good idea to offer a product where you can pay something and not see the ads. But I have to say that it's almost as if they made the ads more annoying than they had to be in order to insure that when th

The idea would be to bulldoze them and then just sit on the land until you need it for some reason. Carrying costs are obviously much lower that way you can't vandalize a lot (although you can dump on it of course..)

Agree "this coming from a VC" but at scale it makes more sense to have something like a community rating system (or algorithm) rather than having to make individual decisions face to face. Doesn't mean mistakes can't be
