One of Michael Moritz's best stories on obsession is about the ride he got from Bill Gates when Microsoft was still private. "Bill Gates gave me a ride to the airport in his car. The radio was missing in the car, a big, gaping hole in the dashboard. I said, Bill, what happened to you, did you get ripped off? And he said no, I had it taken out. Why'd you have it taken out? Well, I drive from my home to the office, which is 7 minutes and 32 seconds, and then I'll drive from the office to the airport, which is however long. And he said if I've got the radio, I'm afraid that I'll switch it on and…

Michael Moritz on @elonmusk: "I'm a great believer in the great person theory. He may well be the greatest industrialist in the history of America. It's impossible for me to understand how one individual has been able to achieve what [he's achieved] — and I know he's a controversial figure, but I'm just looking at him through the lens of history and through an investor's lens. I'm completely gobsmacked by the scale of his achievements in a variety of different industries, which is the thing that sets him apart from others."

x.com Michael Moritz on why he doesn't think he'd succeed in venture today. "The venture business that I got into way back when is very different from the venture business today. I think it's become much more difficult. We had a variety of benefits back in the '80s and '90s that don't exist today. One of them being imperfect information. Pre-internet, unless you were very close to things, you didn't know what was happening. Today, everybody's got access to more or less the same information. Number two, there are just so many more entities of all stripes. Individuals, two or three people banding tog… Quoting @patrick_oshag My conversation with Michael Moritz, one of the great venture investors of the last 40 years.

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they
do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
article and a belief on korrents.com
are left in their original language.
