No other principal owner topped $10 million in donations, with the second biggest spender being Denver Broncos owner and Walmart heir Rob Walton donating $8.9 million.

On the other side, New Seattle Seahawks owner Vinod Khosla gave $2 million to a Democratic Senate PAC, can read the full report with owner donations broken down by league on frontofficesports.com well a wnba champion could be crowned today before most of us take our lunch break the golden state valkyries lead the atlanta dream three games to two game six tips off today at 12 30 p.m eastern on usa network and streaming on peacock that's 9 30 in the morning for valkyries fans out on the west coast And the midday start has sent ticket prices crashing to nearly $32.

That according to TicketData.com. And the Dream's owners are publicly blaming the league.

Front office sports reporter Colin Salao is with us for more.

They raised concerns.

Is that advisor taking confidential information? Vinod Khosla jumped in and he publicly sided against Factory.

Even though his firm backs both companies, he called Factory a struggling second-tier competitor and accused its CEO of having no decency or sense of proper behavior.

So these are some fightin' words.

Chief of staff is the new life goal role, and we'll tell you why.

Yetis, there's a billionaire VC, Vinod Khosla, who shared a new job opportunity on LinkedIn that went viral.

Three-year commitment, you have to work long days and long nights and weekends when necessary.

basically always working.

He wants a first principles thinker, no work from home, yada, yada.

But you get access to the top minds in Silicon Valley, Vinod Khosla, who also happens to own the Seattle Seahawks.

You'll probably get some luxury box seats too.

And besties, that job post, it went viral because despite the 24-7, 365, always on call, it's a dream job, chief of staff.

And, you know, we had... having a conversation and I asked the question of, you know, we need someone who has the instincts of open AI and the instincts of Square, right? Because we're trying to blend these two into a company like HiOctave, HiO.

And it hit me that we knew somebody, Vinod Khosla, who had actually been on both of those journeys pretty early, right? So we found someone who was a great partner and luckily Vinod agreed that this was a vision that he wanted to back as well.

So in my case, it's been fantastic to build two of these companies, Hemant and Eja from GCs on the board of Crescendo, has been a fantastic partner for me at GC.

And since then, as we sort of build Crescendo, Andy and I are building with Hemant at Crescendo, and we're building with Vinod at High Octave.

To do that, you're going to have to grow the company or the organization in some fashion.

You can struggle with figuring out how to do that, or you can focus on your customer and you can focus on your product.

Like you said, whether it's somebody who's making cakes, or somebody who's running a small shop, you tend to want to focus on the customer, make sure the product and the experience are good.

You don't really want to be in the back office trying to figure out which AI model is the right model or how to prompt it appropriately or how to deal with hallucinations.

Even when you get there though, resist the urge to hire mediocre people.

Vinod Khosla, who's speaking later in the course, has a saying that I love, which is, the team you build is the company you build.

And this is really true.

I didn't appreciate how true this was for a long time.

I thought this was the most wild tweet of them all.

So everyone, anyone that's seeing it's Vinod Khosla tweeted, by the way, Khosla Ventures invest in both.

What's with like, are VCs

able to invest in competitors? Cause these guys have felt like direct competitors for a while.

Like, I was about to break up with you.

Sort of thing.

And then, like, Vinod Khosla, who's led.

They led the round last round.
