      Silicon valley works is because when some kids approach you with the idea of wearing a video camera on their hat 24/7 they just might be causing multi-billion dollar swings in the biggest companies in the world in 10 years later

          In this context, what are your thoughts on Bird 🛴? Insanity or part of a bigger net add to the market?

          Bird will be one of the most influential tech companies started in the last 5 years

          That’s too far fetched a cause-effect correlation. Most good ideas are crazy and that’s how they all work across the globe. Nothing specific here about the valley.

          Alternate thesis: SV works because it attracts talent + has ecosystem to coach & fund that talent. I knew one of those "kids" in the 90s from playing Magic after class and later from UW early entrance. That success doesn't look accidental from here.

          In a few years you may have to amend this to say that both companies caused a $5B swing for their acquiring companies.
