There's a huge problem with companies outsourcing their decision making on who to interview based on logos. They count on Stanford, ex bigco, ex whateverhotstartup logos as a way to defer their own judgement. Their thinking is that if they got into these they're probably pretty good. And they...

Elon Musk reveals the single question he uses to spot liars in interviews: "When I interview somebody, I really just ask them to tell me the story of their career, what are some of the tougher problems they dealt with, how they dealt with those, and how they made decisions at key transition points. Usually that's enough to get a very good gut feel about someone." Elon explains what he's looking for: "What I'm really looking for is evidence of exceptional ability. Did they face really difficult problems and overcome them?" Then he shares how to tell if someone is lying about their accomplishments: "You want to make sure that if there was some significant accomplishment, were they really responsible, or was somebody else more responsible? The person who actually had to struggle with the problem, they really understand it. They don't forget. You can ask them very detailed questions about it and they will know the answer. The person who was not truly responsible for that accomplishment will not know the details." On whether college degrees matter: "There's no need to have a college degree at all. Or even high school. If somebody graduated from a great university, that may be an indication they'll be capable of great things, but it's not necessarily the case. Look at Bill Gates, Larry Ellison, Steve Jobs. These guys didn't graduate from college. But if you had a chance to hire them, of course that would be a good idea." He concludes: "I'm just looking for evidence of exceptional ability. If there's a track record of exceptional achievement, it's likely that will continue into the future."

Sam Altman on the biggest mistake startup CEOs make when scaling a company “When you’re a Seed or Series A company, you spend a huge amount of effort recruiting, but almost no effort retaining talent — and that is [the right strategy] at the beginning. But if you don’t shift to viewing retaining talent as much of your job as recruiting talent, you eventually have some level of a disaster on your hands.” Sam recalls Mark Zuckerberg speaking at Y Combinator and saying he only hires people he’d report to if the roles were reversed. Sam reflects on this: “If you’re hiring people that are that good — which you should be doing — they have as many opportunities as you do… And so if you don’t make the role good enough that you yourself would stay in it, then you have a hard time retaining your best people for a long period of time.” Sam gives three pieces of tactical advice for CEOs who want to retain their best people: 1. Spend one-on-one time with your best people “The thing that your best 5-10 people crave the most is time with you, the CEO. And that is something that as people get busier, they spend less and less time on. Some of the best CEOs in our portfolio, every month they will take out for a one-on-one dinner or drinks or something each of their best 10 people. This is a huge time commitment. If you think about it, you only get 30 dinner slots in a month. It’s a really big thing to do. But I think it actually works because that is the thing these people really crave… They want you to ask them what you think they should be doing and listen to them and have a personal connection. That’s super important.” 2. Continually give them more responsibility “I think if you stop giving people more responsibility, they will eventually leave. If they get to take on new tasks every year or additional tasks every year, they’re happier.” 3. Proactively re-up their compensation “I think most founders are very bad about proactively re-upping — to the level that they should — their top 5-10 lieutenants.” Video source: Khosla Ventures (2016)

🚨David Sacks on pre-product AI startups turning down billion-dollar acquisition offers: “There's a lot of people who've never been through a bust cycle before. And if they think that this is the normal state of the world, they're going to be sorely mistaken.” Sacks: “You are seeing founders turning down multi-billion dollar acquisition offers for startups that haven’t even released a product yet.” “As if those types of offers grow on trees. And they don't.” Jason: “You think Mira should have taken the billion dollar offer from Zuck, or Ilya should have taken the $30B, Sacks? I mean, these things never happen.” Sacks: “I guess it depends how much they have in the bank account. They're both OpenAI co-founders, so…” Chamath: “They probably sold a bunch of OpenAI equity at $300B and $500B. They seem like they're free rolling, so they have no incentive to sell.” Sacks: “Which is fine, it's just that there's a lot of people who've never been through a bust cycle before.” “And if they think that this is the normal state of the world, they're going to be sorely mistaken.” “Right now, we're in a part of the cycle where you can justify that valuation based on its strategic value to a multi-trillion dollar market cap company.” “But that only lasts while those companies are in the market for strategic acceleration.” “And if you turn that down, then you have to make your company work on its own as an actual business.” “And to get to a $30B valuation based on fundamentals, that is extraordinarily difficult.” “That implies multiple billions of revenue. Actual revenue.”
