E776: Social Capital Chamath Palihapitiya: VC ecosystem, rethinking biz; Samsung NEXT Pres David Eun

At LAUNCH SCALE 2017, Jason sits down with two leaders defining the future of investment. Chamath Palihapitiya, who grew Facebook and went on to found VC powerhouse Social Capital, sets us straight on the state of venture capital and markets today, and what we need to do to win. It’s a turbulent time to say the least; investors need to help founders hunker down and restructure how they’re spending money and get their business models working for escape velocity. (Hint: this does not include the use of ICOs, for which Chamath has many choice words….) Next is David Eun, President of Samsung NEXT who talks to Jason about his formidable work at AOL and Google, which led to him to Samsung and helping founders and startups. David nurtures innovation by meeting entrepreneurs wherever they are, a strategy that’s paying off with 23 (and counting) acquisitions in transformative software, including Smart Things leader in smart home.

FIRESIDE with Chamath Palihapitiya 0:36 Jason introduces Chamath Palihapitiya (CEO of Social Capital) to the Launch SCALE audience. 1:35 Chamath explains the story of how he managed to become an owner of the Golden State Warriors, and ultimately why he made the decision to own a professional sports team. 4:12 Chamath explains what has changed in startups. He calls it a “bleeding of talent.” Many more entrepreneurs/companies are being born all over the world, but lack the concentration of talent. 6:14 Chamath explains a problem in Silicon Valley of tremendous amounts of capital being invested into companies without adding true value. And his solution to fix this problem. 9:12 An important example of how Social Capital is adding value to their portfolio companies, by asking one simple question. 11:15 Thank you to LinkedIn for supporting TWiST.

Chamath explains the importance of going public & rewarding your employees. 16:45 Google fact: An engineer obsoletes him/herself in 7 years. What does this mean for a company? Chamath explains the lifetime of businesses may be shrinking. 17:41 Chamath explains how Social Capital manages to recruit the best talent. “We only ever lose a race for human capital to Facebook & Google.” 19:00 Chamath explains his solution to solve the liquidity problem through his SPAC (Special Purpose Acquisition Company), allowing companies to go public within 90 days. 21:31 Explanation of how a SPAC works. Chamath compares it to Facebook acquiring WhatsApp. 23:34 How Social Capital thinks about outsourcing knowledge to help build businesses. Chamath explains the benefit of “Knowledge as a Service”. 25:17 Thank you to Texture for supporting TWiST.

Chamath: “Get back to core fundamental business practices.” 29:21 Chamath explains how Venture Capital will be disrupted by people creating value. And what it takes to build a great company. 30:38 Chamath talks about Slack, why he thinks they’re a fantastic company, and how Social Capital is helping them along the way. 32:23 Chamath explains his views on the Trump Presidency. “What is said, and what is done, have been two very different things.” 34:22 Chamath explains his view on the current economy. Comparing it to the last 30 years. And mentions that it is a scary time to invest in the public markets… right now. 37:12 Jason asks Chamath: What are your thoughts on Seed & Early-stage becoming less attractive to Venture Capital firms? Chamath explains why this is happening. 38:58 Jason takes notes from Chamath on how to make a syndicate better. And concludes the fireside chat. —————————————————————————————————————
