Description

What makes a venture firm meaningful for six decades? In this 4-minute edit (original 1 hour), Jack Altman talks with Saam Motamedi about Greylock’s playbook for longevity. You’ll learn how a service-first mindset — “best supporting actor to the entrepreneur” — shapes hiring, apprenticeship, board work, and how partners are evaluated by causal impact rather than deal credit. Saam explains Greylock’s initiation approach, sector focus, flywheel effects, and a barbell portfolio strategy that balances raw early bets with large late-stage rounds. Topics include venture capital, startups, leadership, technology and AI, and practical ethics in investor-founder relationships. Hosts: Jack Altman; Guest: Saam Motamedi. Listen now to get the key ideas in minutes.
