Something Airbnb has in common with Google and Facebook: Ron Conway did a huge amount of work for them behind the scenes. As I told the Airbnbs 10 years ago, if you plan to get really big, you want @svangel in your cap table.
You could probably make a lot of money just by asking Ron what startups he's doing the most work for, and investing in those. He's "irrational" in the sense that the amount of work he does for a company depends on how important he thinks they are, not how much stock he has.
Since he both knows everything that's going on in the Valley (when I want to know the truth about some rumor, I ask him) and has a highly developed nose for promising startups, when he thinks a startup is important, he's usually right.
Who are others you feel that deeply about?
PG could you define what is “big work” from an angel/early stage investor in general? Or in one of you essays maybe
PG HAS provided examples of Ron Conway doing phone calls on your behalf....
Jargon for this is “back channel”. Quoting Ron Conway, ‘active ACTIVE back-channeling’ in Uber’s case with mayors of towns trying to shut down Uber. #deBlasioUber

At what stage of company growth do you want to get them on board?
Curious to know how @svangel stands out & what are those things they do that creates this massive impact?
There are two things that are unique about Ron and @svangel: their level of commitment to helping founders, and the number and level of the contacts they have.
We once had a startup whose bank account got frozen just before Christmas. Ron called the bank's CEO and fixed it.
