1 prediction · 12 assertions · 5 opinions · 9 insights · 22 disclosures · 1 what if · every statement was checked. The prediction and assertions are the 13 claims: statements the public record can support or contradict. 8 are resolved, 2 are not yet assessed, and 3 name no date, number or outcome precise enough to check. Everything else (opinions, insights, what ifs, disclosures) can never be settled by the record, so it carries no assessment.

The record, in short

What the tape says about how Tom argues and how the claims held up. Everything they said, and everything said about them, is in the tabs below.

Their most notable supported claim

Assertion Supported

Summit Partners and TA Associates pioneered private equity cold-calling

“This was the cold call model was being implemented, but by, you know, a handful of the summit and TA type folks, they were the pioneers. Now it seems like it's complete commonplace for any group, you know, almost any size, they have some element of kind of rea…”

Their most notable contradicted claim

Prediction Didn’t hold up

How they sound: not measured why? →

We measure speaking style by listening to the audio itself, and a fair number needs at least 2,000 words from one person on tape we have measured. There is too little of Tom Lenehan on measured tape to publish a rate. This says nothing about how they speak.

Disclosure

Rockefeller's endowment suffered cultural damage by letting a bad hire linger

“We made a hiring mistake, and we realized, we kind of thought, well, we'll just let it, you know, let's let the person kind of ride out to the end of the program, which was fine, but what it did to our culture, and again, you're looking around, there's only ki…”

Disclosure

Wallace Foundation holds 7% in liquid cash and fixed income

“So right now we have about two percent of cash, and then we have another five percent in the fixed income piece, which is incredible. It's daily liquidity, so call it seven percent.”
