Have any MAJOR, life changing, consumer tech products resulted from Venrock’s “wisdom” lately? Something that you JUST can’t live without? NOPE. Well look to Venrock’s David Pakman to see why: http://www.venrock.com/teammember/david-pakman/.
Pakman is a joke. He sits back and waits for someone else’s ideas, then he creates similar around it or “reviews” it as if he’s the friggin’ expert.
David Pakman defines this statement from Malcolm X: do your own thing successfully and see who comes running to whom. Right now, Pakman is tailing Jay Z because of Tidal. http://www.venrock.com/here-is-what-jay-z-should-have-launched-with-tidal

HOWEVER, when it comes to inner city investing, Pakman “just ain’t feelin’ it!”
Anywhooo, David Pakman should get off Jay Z’s jock because he knows full well he would want nothing to do with anyone from Marcy Projects!
HA! Jack Dorsey, the partner of unethical Jessica Verrilli-Venrock https://www.tamra.nyc/live-and-learn, is now going to Marcy Projects to teach about Cryptocurrency and Blockchain. BUT the reality is Dorsey needs Jay Z MORE than Jay Z needs Dorsey. Dorsey is just trying to stay relevant because #blackgirlscode and other black developers are outshining Dorsey’s squawk-box for white supremacists (Marjorie Taylor Greene, Jack Posobiec). Dorsey is eating Jay Z’s scraps, while bathing in shit from Posobiec.

White supremacist Jack Posobiec, whom Dorsey couldn’t wait to verify on Twitter, even though Posobiec has violated each and every Twitter rule: https://www.splcenter.org/search?keyword=posobiec
Whatever Pakman touches, benefits him primarily. Everyone else is collateral damage.
