Very nice documentary,like the electric dubstep music,and I like how you show the macro and interesting micro events like the wire hog pitch. Also would be cool if you added a recap of the lessons you learned at the end
that arthur anderson/Accenture joke was unexpected. reminds me of the time I was at my unis job fair and the pwc guy didn't know there was a fifth before.
Andreessen Horowitz is the real deal. I compared A. H. is the Harry Potter of Venture capital and Sequoia Capital is the Dumble-dore. "Although he isn’t the wisest or cunningest of wizards, Harry Potter is more powerful than Albus Dumbledore." in the movie.
@@0xfawazali The founder of FLOW lost $25 Billion in mkt value at WeWork from Massatoshi's Soft Bank inv. don't know how that could be a merit under A16z's eye.
@@fliu5282 Exactly its not a merit to a16z, and speaking of the jew part didn't know that a16z and adam had this connection to invest $350M for nothing.
Great documentary! Fun but informative. I work at Capital Group and the whole Sequoia founding story is still a point of pride today. Would add FTX under the the list of Sequoia failures though!
This is the first video I’ve seen from this channel. I’m so glad I did - because now I know that Arnold Schwarzenegger has a son who narrates (and creates?) dope ass YT documentaries! Rock on 🤘 lil Schwarzenegger 👍
Good content Kevin. However I've noticed that most of these startups produce discretionary use products and many of them make products that are or enable addiction & degeneracy. We can be happier without those products. Of course, people choose to buy them but that's the tragedy. They choose to buy & use Cocaine, Fantanyl etc.. as well so them choosing to buy isn't necessarily an endorsement of the utility of all those products. Some of them definitely make our lives better but blanket marketing is dumbing people down and knocks them out
it should hurt that memory of selling apple. Once I was invested in a stock which had a tough time so i decided to hold, then stock started to improve and sold it when i did break even and a decent gain. Then the stock really took off. oh boy I felt bad for months for selling soon. Anyway it was a lesson learned
I can tell that you are inspired by the videos of FINAiUS (in case thats not true i apologise) but with a more joking way i like that keep up the work i really enjoyed your video about Martin Shkreli
Harvard Business School is not everything Sequoia become a giant by releasing that people who come from HVB school lack the quality to recognize these gems
I like your channel the first video I’ve seen was the George soros one pretty insane and got me hooked so I subscribed going to be binge watching your videos for sure at work
SEQUOIA is like a commercial bank not a venture capitalist because its return is like zero to 3% annual (as in your saving accounts) for investors in its core portfolio. Too many Chinese VC analysts and after they discovered your bus, they will quit their analysts job and go out and start "their own" to compete against you in China. That is the play book.
If I have a tech venture, I am not gong to be connected to SEQUOIA full of china people and analysts, they can copied wahtever you doing and open another shop in china.
@@megalomedia the burden of proof my dear friend is on you, not me since you made the claim. I love your videos by the way. From my side, I guess it depends on how you define “great”. Is it profitability? Is it being able to persuade swaths of people to purchase an inferior product at a high premium, how he attempted to lock people into his product by algorithms that made it impossible to transfer their data to competitors, is it because although he studied IT, he never wrote a line of code or did any particle work on developing any of his star products and instead stood to take credit for the hard work of many faceless Engineers, he deceived his closest friend and partner … none of his products is a market share leader, his products are at best discretionary, they are not essential for humanity… some my thoughts on him.

Why do I feel like I can make a billion after watching these videos
Same here
Because we can
It's just a self belief bro
Because you can!
you're not alone
Amazing detailed story about Sequoia, saved me a lot of time to better understand this company! Now I find VC is very facilitating!
Love the documentary content, Kevin, Keep it up!
these are greatly appreciated, never stop
Wish I found your videos sooner. Amazing work best of the best ! Keep it up!
Absolutely Unreal 😮

great to see these video keep up the good work kevin . truly a chad.
How did you not mention their investment in FTX?
Does anyone know the name of the song at the beginning?
Make a Video on Sequoa Capital vs Softbank
Love the way story has been told.
What about adding FTX to the list of failures. Great documentary!
Ftx you say?
I like what the title says in this video alot and great video man :]

@@0xfawazali Well, as long as you are a Jew from Isreal, its a good deal. I guess you are not. A16Z and founder in FLOW are both Jew.

Worthy content.
After the FTX investment sequoia did idk if they are so different from other firms anymore. Golden age of Sequoia is probably over.
Best yt channel ever!! We want More documentaries ❤

While others are looking to work for them, there are ones like us who want to invest in them :)
WOW IAM thankful about that guys amazing conversation fantastic
nice, bratan💪
Your accent and word choice makes the jokes as good as gold. I laughed out loud so much watching the micheal burry vid.
Ftx??
Well they invested to FYX because SBF was so chill playing games while he pitched to them 😂 So much for savvy investors …
There were ftx that’s now bankruptcy
I was checking their IRR in the revenue report. Their fund is hardly returning 12% pa to LPs in past decade
p.a.? Or 12% for the whole decade?
@@darius2658 pa. Edited. Thanks
@@chan90s oh that's great, thanks for the research!
Great work dude. Very well done

Their investment in FTX was indeed an amazing move ... for fraudsters.
Make the man the thumbnail dark black, remove sequoia name and logo and put a big question mark...
How does Sequoia compare with Sequoia India.. the India arm doesn't seem as sharp
I only knew them after reading Zappo startup
Looks like ho chi Minh lmaooo 😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣

Hey Nervos Network! Alright.
investing in rennesaince alone must be enough to make him filthy rich
Did I see FTX :)
Back when California wasn’t a wasteland. Actually really sad.
The Legend in SEQUOIA 30 yrs ago, is now dead...culture shifted and changed. That is why you see blows up in FTX.
It invested in FTX.
You seen the coffeezilla token sponsorship vids 🤣🤣🤣 you're better than that...
