Which people do you observe as unusually strong “attractors” / gravitational forces for other high quality, positive players in their field?
Exhibit A: listen to @chetanp - you can hear him smiling w/ delight & wonder as he talks about the nuance of enterprise software twitter.com/patrick_oshag/…

I see now why he’s a gravitational force - if I were starting an enterprise software co & I heard him speak, I would instinctively move heaven & earth to dial up his voice into my ear into the future - intuitively, you know that some of his energy & thinking may transfer to you

Also thinking re: assessing high stakes hires - as Benchmark has to when they bring on a new equal partner - Benchmark team gains conviction by first being on a board w/ a prospect together.
Shared board service is a high signal low cost way to get reps with a potential partner

I just reread Eleven Rings, when you put @bgurley podcast w/ @patrick_oshag together w/ this one, their shared vibe reminds me of Phil Jackson’s description of Chicago Bulls circa 1995 w/ a mood of “innocent wonder” & the strong belief that “life is great” pic.twitter.com/ZTJYJeQ1SN

Great @chetanp line: “our job as an early stage investor is to see the present very very clearly and not predict the future.”
Like Gibson’s “the future is already here, it’s just not evenly distributed”
Go @patrick_oshag on relentlessly seeking that unevenly distributed truth
