I don’t usually like to talk about VC topics, but NPR Marketplace just posted an interview by Molly Wood (such a cool name): https://www.marketplace.org/2017/09/07/tech/source-code/source-code-steve-jurvetson

minute 11 — team size and scaling limits
minute 15 — seven year cycles from feedback lag
minute 18 — the cognitive diversity bonus: I recently learned that I am quoted in Scott Page’s new book on Diversity pp.124-5. (releases on Friday: https://www.amazon.com/Diversity-Bonus-Knowledge-Compelling-Interests/dp/0691176884) At a gathering last month, he reminded me that when I first met him at a conference lunch, I got all excited about the SFI research showing diversity being more important than ability in certain contexts, and I quoted him before I knew he was him. I’m glad I got the attribution right there!
