It is interesting to see how PG is selling this to Fred. This is exactly the kind of people you want to work with in a startup. People who believe in you and are not afraid to show it.
Yeah, I don’t know much about PG’s communication style, but in intra-VC communication, this is 100 max over the top support, hair-on-fire. Good for PG, and his words were prescient in ‘09, prescient in ‘11 and still prescient in ‘18. Not many times my you can say that.
Ps funny on the eBay name drop. The original marketplace model, and still doing well, but dot think vc’s reference it as often anymore.
Love his passion. I know it's possible PG himself missed out on a startups by convincing people not to invest in a simialr way, but the fact that he's not afraid to express his opinion is just as useful.
