In 1998, when I started ending up with lots of shares in public Internet companies, I came up with a formulaic approach for any public equities that are distributed to me (either from our funds or other VC funds).

They’re just looking for a j-o-b and for years, finance was just the easiest, no brainer way to get it. I didn’t take a job in finance because they were willing to pay me more than tech companies were—no tech companies recruited me and I didn’t even know they were in my backyard. They’re not looking to build a career yet.

The fact that the trend has been going for some time – Google was founded in 1998 and Tesla and Facebook in 2003 and 2004 respectively – suggests that the bubble explanation can’t be the whole story. That said, I think that froth in the late stage financing market has contributed in the last couple of years.
