A recommendation of a roughly 90-minute interview in which Patrick remarkably captures the wit and character of Sequoia legend Michael Moritz.
In the quoted tweet, former Sequoia partner Jim Goetz recalls being mentored by "mm" during his first year at Sequoia, shadowing him and learning more than he imagined. Working alongside Moritz was, in Goetz's words, "a privilege, occasionally intimidating, and often a joy." He praises the interview for drawing out Sir Michael's charm and heart, leaving him smiling and misty-eyed.
