- Startups - Chris Sacca of Lowercase Capital Pt. 2- TWiST #295
Today on This Week in Startups, investor, entrepreneur and cyclist Chris Sacca of Lowercase Capital joined the program to discuss his investments in Facebook, Twitter, Uber and more. He also gave a candid account of how he hustled his way to the top. And, the interview was so incredible, we had to break it up into two episodes. Here is part two!
*Disclaimer: Chris has a potty mouth and we've attempted to bleep out all of his swear words. We apologize in advance if any snuck by our censors.
1:17:00 What do you think of Sergey? 1:22:30 Why doesn't Twitter own Instagram? 1:25:15 Are you investor in Klout? 1:36:00 Do you trust Mark Zuckerberg with your data? 1:39:30 Is Zuckerberg, at his core, a great product guy? 1:42:15 Is CEO of Yahoo the hardest job in Silicon Valley right now? 1:43:45 Chris explains what Facebook did wrong with their IPO.
