The divorce explains a lot of the energy this guy brings to social media.
Pete@https_500·5 MarThe divorce explains a lot of the energy this guy brings to social media.TraducirChamath Palihapitiya@chamathWhat happened at Social Capital was several things: 1) Personally, I was going through a divorce. It was a very hard time. 2) My ostensible “cofounders” spent more time jostling for board seats and credit for deals with outsiders vs doing good work and mentoring a team. They made the place a political snake pit - something that I had unfortunately allowed to happen. So I killed the snake. 3) It was increasingly clear that my returns were sporadic but gargantuan and didn’t fit in a classic fund with LPs. I was a home run hitter in a business where raising new funds invariably led you to hitting singles and doubles. In other words, I was making suboptimal portfolio decisions so I would return capital in order to keep raising funds. This was important to stack the compensation of my team who had far less capital than I did. I’m in a much better place now personally and professionally. We invest only my capital and so far, so good. Long live Social Capital. English00036
