Fast Rate Learning and Earned Interest

Recently, we had the utmost privilege of being in the presence of none other than Benchmark's very own, Miles Grimshaw. With a reputation that instills awe and trepidation in the hearts of fellow investors, Miles stands as an irrefutable icon in the field. Throughout his illustrious tenure at Thrive and now Benchmark, Miles has consistently displayed an unparalleled acumen, spearheading transformative investments in groundbreaking ventures such as Benchling, Airtable, Langchain, Vimeo, Github, Slack, Gong, ScaleAI, Pitch, Segment, Lattice, Monzo Bank, Glide, Supergreat, and an impressive array of other influential entities.

Whispers of Miles's extraordinary talents have permeated the industry, and let me assure you, he far exceeded our lofty expectations. I see why he’s a founder favorite! It was a dinner to remember — an unadulterated and candid exchange with one of the preeminent dealmakers of our era. Miles, we extend our heartfelt gratitude to you.

Please note that the dinner was held in strict confidence and veered delightfully off the confines of a scripted narrative :)
