He's known for personally leading GV's landmark ~$258M investment into Uber through what he described as a "relentless pursuit" of the founder, and he publicly frames his investing decisions through the lens of being a parent to Gen Z children, often discussing dinner-table conversations about the future of work and whether college is still worth it.
