The Exchanges

Every argument clarity score on this site is built from rows on this page. Each question and answer was assessed with names hidden, the host's own answers included, on four things from 1 to 5: directness (does it answer the question asked), coherence (do the ideas follow), precision (concrete details and clear references), compression (says a lot per word). The weighted mix (30/30/25/15) is the exchange score. A person's published score averages their exchange scores on raw tape only, at least 8 of them, shrunk toward the cohort mean. Full method →

Every exchange below was scored with names hidden, four dimensions each from 1 to 5. An exchange's score is 0.30·directness + 0.30·coherence + 0.25·precision + 0.15·compression. The published score averages the raw tape exchange scores and shrinks small samples toward the cohort mean, so five great answers can't beat twenty good ones. Produced feed rows count only toward coarse estimates, never toward a full score.

Q Right. And there'll be a few. Your funds, when you were at GV, are gonna print an enormous upside. And so, if you don't look closely, though, at beyond the averages, venture's gonna look incredible. If you look past the averages, venture's still gonna look extremely bimodal. A handful of winners and a ton of losers. How does that play out?

A I mean, one, that's how venture is, right? 75% of funds lose money. But two, in order for founders fund, or pick any fund, to get that hundred billion out, they have to sell that stock to someone else. Otherwise, it's just on paper. So who's the buyer for that? Is it, is it retail? Is it, ah, you know, what, you, you, you've gotta make a business case in the public market that can show that this business is worth the discounted value of its future cash flows. And so, Whether it's SpaceX or Anthropic or so forth, like, can that case be made? We'll see six months after or so. I know they're playing with the, uh, uh, with the lockups to kind of drag that out, but we'll, we'll see what the public market thinks of that.
