“They say Silicon Valley is a wonderful place to start a company. It's a horrible place to scale a company.”
Gurley says he would offer Elon's Tesla compensation package to every company he's worked with.
“that package, that type of package that they did for Elon, I've said this, you know, publicly, I would agree to that type of package for every company I've ever worked with, and most CEOs wouldn't take it. It basically says you don't make money unless the stock goes way up.”
