FAANG was only good for the name and the money. Now I would say neither. I think we are now in a post-FAANG world. Maybe at the highest levels sure you’ll clean up but not as FEE. Honestly there are a ton of private companies now (stripe, Databricks, the GenAI companies, etc where the name carries a lot of weight and you can clean up well if you have a few years).

why does databricks carry any name brand value. isn't it just hosted spark ? whats the big innovation?

[uptownfunk]

That they make a lot of money doing it
