How Sequoia doubted Musk and passed on investing in SpaceX. This video is from a 2011 tour of SpaceX taken by David Spector (David Spector), a partner at Sequoia Capital. The exploding tank was actually a pressure test of the fuel tank. Spector recently shared the story on LinkedIn of how Sequoia had the chance to invest in SpaceX back then and passed. Elon Musk was looking to raise capital, a low single-digit billion dollar valuation. David shares "Touring the factory and spending time with Elon was mind-blowing, and we came away excited about the team and convinced cheap launch would blow open a market". He prepared the materials, the memo, presented to his partners at Sequoia. And got turned down. Sequoia did eventually invest in SpaceX, but not until 2019. Eight years later. Hindsight 20/20. It's easy to only share the wins, but stories like these are important too.
