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 Like, why, why is it such an incredible opportunity?

A We have bought more than a hundred companies. You're 100% right. Over 26 years. We've bought more than a hundred companies. We've invested in hundreds of companies. We own one percent of Anthropic. You know, we just sold a company to Google, which is Wiz, the security company. We, you know, we grew Snowflake and took it public. We're investors in many companies. Um, so we want to talk to you if you're an entrepreneur. We want to invest in you. We want to help you grow. We want to bring you here, introduce you to all of our customers. We have 50,000 customers here to introduce you to who want to buy your product now. So come here to San Francisco or come to one of our world tours all over the world. You know, from here we go on the road and we're going to be in every country in the world, every major city, and we will come and meet you. We want to meet you. We want to know you. Salesforce ventures is our arm that acquires, but also invests. It's a huge part of our business. It's a five billion dollar fund. It's I think doing a 33% IRR. I don't know exactly the numbers, probably one of the highest performing funds in the world.
