On the topic of A16Z v. Benchmark, especially from 09 onwards Benchmark has done ridiculously well. Early on Uber(a, b + c), Snapchat (a + b), Instagram (a + b), Dropbox (b), Nextdoor (a, b + c), Hortonworks (a, b), Zendesk (b, c + d), New Relic (a, b + c) and Twitter (c + d). I'm sure I'm missing a few as well.

I'd love for the fund data to be available!

Benchmark has been on a tear in VC not seen since KP did it in the mid/late 90s. they are absolutely the best in the business right now

wow. I love pmarca's Jerry:Newman comparison, but with Gurley's portfolio as impressive as it is, maybe George Costanza:Lloyd Braun is the better Seinfeld analogy
