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.
