Second guessing VC's firms choices on early stage investing choices seems like low-hanging fruit.

On the surface, Kleiner gets a ton of historical credit and 'brand' from being early investors in companies from 25-years ago like Google and Amazon. However below the surface and analyzing the past 20-years, I took the piece not to be so much picking apart early stage investment choices at Kleiner but rather how poor/dysfunctional the leadership of the Kleiner firm while Doerr was at the helm. Lots of missteps on succession, firm strategy, roles/responsibilities, governance, and overall controversy (e.g., PR blunder from Pao case). Not the stuff that one would want to associate with an "Institute of New Leaders" at Rice
