Description
In a significant shift, the Trump administration is now taking direct equity stakes in American companies, marking a departure from past policies. Roelof Botha of Sequoia Capital discusses this change, highlighting the need for the U.S. to keep pace with countries like China. Botha advises startup founders to focus on building their businesses, especially if they're nearing a cash crunch. Sequoia, known for nurturing startups, emphasizes quality over quantity, preferring to invest in a few promising companies rather than spreading bets. As the venture capital landscape becomes more crowded, Botha argues that a focused, old-school approach may be the key to success.
