An investor taking credit for founder's work is probably NOT the way to build an iconic company.

How is that tweet "taking credit for founder's work"?

Also have you seen this guy's resume? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keith_Rabois#Business_career Yeah -- he's in no need to take credit for other people's work.

I love taking advice from people like Keith Rabois because you know (unlike 99% of other VCs) he actually has experience building mega-unicorns himself.

I read it differently. It reminds me of some advice on pitching:

“Don’t waste you’re time trying to convince hesitant investors you have a good idea. Find the investors who already know it’s a good idea, and then convince them you’re the team whose going to do it.”

Your comment is misleading. In no way is he taking credit for the founders’ work. He clearly says he was looking to fund someone in that space.
