        @paulg I think you have a couple of typos. Dropbox and AirBnB valuation should be in billion instead of million.

        @ThomasDiong Those were the valuations at which they first raised money. The difference is why the venture business exists.

        @paulg got it. Thought you were mentioning current valuation. 1000x return for early Dropbox investors. Nice.

        @paulg thanks for this piece. Why do VC partners discriminate against deals that come to them via their firm's own associates?

        @paulg Paul, when building relationships with investor outside of fundraising mode, should you explicitly mention you are not fundraising?
