From: Steven Sinofsky To: Jeffrey Epstein Subject: Re: Date: Sun, 10 Mar 2013 02:25:37 +0000 Haven't found anyone who does. The industry is going through a post-hp (post bill, post jobs, post chambers) world where leaders are being picked for being stewards and benign (hopefully). The big tech compnies are all on a path to be mediocre because of that. That's really driving the bearish views of apple--Tim isn't the right guy and it started with forstall being fired. Microsoft going with tony bates. Hp going with meg. People with no views of the industry. Just people who organize and speak about it. Personally I think apple and google need them, skills, most. Apple has no one. Google killing it now but very fragile. The day to day of being a vc is very similar. Helping people make stuff. I've spent 3 weeks down there. The deal structuring and finance are all other folks. That's what Ovitz brought to organizing the firm. It is hard to see the upside of just joining a random small company to make something.

He said he talked to brad and expected a larger offer. that was Wednesday. thanks...he's your guy and I ran out of ways to push. I have pushed about 6 times since I got back from ny. I am heading to korea. they offered me a partner at Andreessen horowitz. sounds more fun than Samsung. told them I like it, need to close with Microsoft, and: • probably not looking to be ceo anywhere. hard to imagine what company I would want to do that for--big sacrifice and not a lot of interesting places. EFTA00652533 • except if Microsoft imploded and the fake smooth transition bill is trying doesn't work (tony bates? good grief he's an idiot) • would not work as a VP Engineering except at google or apple and haven't looked or talked. • am considering Samsung because of the challenge in many dimensions They have general partner and board partner. I told them I am not sure I want part time (board partner-- you participate in equity for only deals you are on board of or source). general partner is obviously a big deal. they are at like $3B right now. I think their latest fund has room for another general partner.
