When I was in college ( UCSD, go Tritons !) One VC firm who decided to invest – High Peaks – liked the deal so much that one of their team members, Rahul Gandhi left to join MakeSpace!

Investment Partner Megan Quinn weighed in publicly. So if you need any proof that Perkins has no connection to his former firm if an investment partner hasn’t even met him he clearly doesn’t cast a long shadow over the firm. People don’t know him. I’ve personally never met him and don’t care to.

I went to undergrad at UCSD, which is not a place known for its Greek institutions and my father grew up in South America and had know idea what a fraternity was. I invest in lines, not dots. So I went to college with no expectation that I would ever join a fraternity let alone aspire to become president one day.

I didn’t invest in any of their fine competitors either like Lyft, Sidecar, Hailo, etc. I was at an alumni dinner at UCSD (I am on the alumni board) and a group of people were talking about how their kids use UberX to get rides home from parties at night. I’m not so sure. I wish I were. I have no overt biases. I know that.

I recently spoke at the business school at UCSD. But seriously her book is spot on. Know your audience - I always try to find out something about the audience before I present.
