On Tim Kendall:

It is rare for operators to oversee zero to $1 billion in scale over only a handful years. Tim has overseen this not once; but twice. It’s hard to imagine someone better equipped to help advise entrepreneurs on how to scale and grow.

On Evan Tato:

Evan is an invaluable advisor because he can play across all the key company building domains. He has a reputation for being lights out on strategic positioning, allocating capital, and complex structuring, but he is also a non-linear thinker who can flip a switch and be remarkably creative. You rarely find that in one person. It makes it really fun to work with him and results in a powerful multiplier effect.

On Krissi Robinson:

Krissi partnered directly with me and my team on hiring the initial product team behind ChatGPT. After our “low key research preview” went viral, we needed to hire exceptional product leaders quickly without compromising OpenAI’s talent bar. Krissi helped us build a first-principles hiring process that reflected OpenAI’s unique cultural values, and then drove the work end-to-end—personally and through her team—across sourcing, process, and closing. I genuinely don’t think we’d have built such a phenomenal team without her.

On Tim Kendall:

Tim was the very first investor to see and invest in the potential of Pandora. Tim led the first institutional investment into the business long before it was a consumer product. He went on to create massive value as an operator. Tim is the rare combination of analytical strength, operating excellence at both small and large scale, and a genuine passion for and understanding of entrepreneurship. He was the first call I made when I launched my second startup.

On Evan Tato:

As a key advisor, Evan is as sophisticated as they come. The breadth of areas where he is an A+ is incredibly impressive. Working closely with Evan as early as possible in the company building journey is foundational. I hear that from every founder I introduce to him. And the one two punch of Evan and Tim is special.

On Tim Kendall:

Tim was essential to building Pinterest. He was a critical partner to me, from helping scale our organization, to recruiting outstanding executives, to helping us fundraise. Very few investors have the level of business acumen, hands-on operating experience, and strong underlying values that Tim possesses.
