Thoughts / Info on Hedosophia?

Interested to hear how they are perceived in comparison to the Sequoias / Bessemers of the world.

Seems to be incredibly secretive and the founder looks to be super young. Less familiar with the VC world, but believe the fund(s) are quite sizeable.

I only know the US team so caveat that UK (if that is indeed where you're based) may be different.

Started by the Chamath guy from Social Capital (slash, his prolific Twitter presence). Fly super under the radar as you pointed out, but show up in similar late-stage venture deals to the usual Silicon Valley suspects. Not sure if they're good or not... deployed a LOT at high valuations in 2021 which is a pretty negative indicator. Culture seems pretty collegial / fun (lot of offsites in cool places)

Above comment isn't correct. Founded by Ian Osborne. They did a couple of SPACs together but its a VC fund
