And even when you look at other data clouds, you know, like a Snowflake or a Databricks or even a Palantir Foundry, they're all in the three to four billion dollar revenue level. They're in my sights. So, you know, I'm on it. Soccer is a game played by 22 people and in the end the Germans win. In the same way, Venture is a game played by 6,000 people and in the end, Sequoia wins.

They won here again. This is 20 VC with me, Harry Stebbings. Now it is my favourite show of the week. I am joined by Jason Lempkin and Rory O'Driscoll. Now, this show started out as three friends sitting down to discuss the latest and greatest tech news without the politics.

We were bored of hearing politics interspersed in tech news, and we thought that we could provide some interesting commentary and analysis alongside it. Since we've now been hitting millions of downloads with every episode, and today we're joined by one of the greatest founders of the last 20 years, Mark Benioff from Salesforce. Next week we have Cliff, the founder of Canva, and the week after that we have Jeff Lawson, the founder of Twilio. This show is going from strength to strength. The show today is better than ever, and I want your feedback.

That is the first couple of minutes. The rest is $1.
