David Sacks: Silicon Valley's Rainmaker
Notas del episodio
Sacks is a very interesting and powerful figure. He started his tech career with PayPal, and it was Sacks, together with other PayPal founders, who organised the coup that got Elon Musk fired as PayPal's CEO. He went on to start up Geni.com and Yammer, selling Yammer for $1.2 billion dollars. He then set up a venture firm and has risen to prominence through the All In podcast, and then in 2024 was made President Trump's AI and Crypto Tsar. It is he who is advising Trump on the type and the amount of regulation required for AI — an extremely powerful and important position. So who is Sacks, how did he get to where he is? This is a cracking episode — enjoy.
