Most commercially minded investors distributed the most money (instead of product, engineers, etc.)

Thoughts on this take from the All-In Podcast:

Basically, Chamath studied VC investors that distributed over $1B and it's essentially the most commercially minded folks (former HF investors, IB trained, journalists, etc.) instead of former engineers, product managers, founders, etc. Quite eye-opening since I always thought it was the opposite and never thought that HF investors would do so well in VC given the difference in markets.
