Isiphithiphithi seNyanga-eNinzi kwiChamath Palihapitiya yeNtlalontle yoLuntu, ichaziwe

Kwiinyanga ezimbalwa ezidlulileyo, ishishini kunye neendaba zeendaba zeshishini, ezivela Ithamsanqa ukuya eAxios, bebemleqa ngokusondele uChamath Palihapitiya, umgidi wezigidigidi waseSilicon owenza ubutyebi ngexesha leminyaka yakhe yokuqala kuFacebook (kodwa ngoku ungumgxeki ongathethiyo ngayo), kunye nomdlalo weqonga kwinkampani yakhe yenkunzi, iSocial Capital.

Ukusukela ngeyeSilimela kulo nyaka, abaphathi abaliqela abaphezulu kwiziko lezeNtlalontle, kubandakanya nababini babaqeshi be-Palihapitiya, bangenise ukurhoxa kwabo kubikwa ngenxa yokungavisisani okungahambelaniyo nobunkokheli be-Palihapitiya.

Izolo, uPalihapitiya unike udliwanondlebe ekudala ulindelwe Ulwazi Ukwabelana ngeakhawunti yakhe yesiphithiphithi esisezinyangeni ngaphakathi kwenkampani yakhe. Kwaye emva koko, wothusa ilizwe eliyinkunzi ngokuvalwa okungaqhelekanga: Inkunzi yezeNtlalontle ayisayi kuphinda inyuse imali njengefemu eyinkunzi.

Ngubani uChamath Palihapitiya?

U-Chamath Palihapitiya wayeyintloko ye-Facebook yokukhula komsebenzisi ukusuka ku-2005 ukuya ku-2011. Ngaphantsi kwakhe, ukubalwa kwabasebenzisi be-Facebook ngenyanga kwakhula ngaphezulu kwama-150 (ukusuka kwizigidi ezi-5.5 ngo-2005 ukuya kwizigidi ezingama-845 ukuphela kuka-2011). Kodwa emva kokukhuthaza ukukhula okunje ngeenkwenkwezi, wazisusa kwisiseko somsebenzisi sikaFacebook, etyhola iqonga leendaba zosasazo ngokuqhekeza uluntu.

Kodwa ngokuqinisekileyo uFacebook wamenza umntu osisityebi. Emva kokuba i-Facebook iye esidlangalaleni kwi-2012, ukulingana kwe-Palihapitiya kwinkampani kwaqikelelwa ukuba kufanelekile kufutshane ne-1 yezigidigidi zeedola.

Ngaloo mali, waseka iNtlalontle yeNtlalontle ngenjongo yokuqhubela phambili ngokusombulula iingxaki zehlabathi ezinzima, ngokwewebhusayithi yenkampani.

Yintoni ekhethekileyo malunga neNtlalo yoLuntu?

Ngaphandle kwezimvo ezintle zeNtlalontle malunga nesisa kunye noxanduva kwezentlalo, inkampani iyazahlula kwezinye iifemu zorhwebo lwentengiso kunye nendlela yayo yotyalo-mali eqhutywa kakhulu.

Ngokwesiko, utyalo-mali lokuqalisa luxhomekeke ikakhulu kwingxowa-mali yeliyali ekhokela isivumelwano - indawo yakhe yobungcali, unyamezelo lomngcipheko kwaye ngamanye amaxesha ubudlelwane bobuqu kunye noosomashishini zonke zinokuchaphazela isigqibo se-VC. Kodwa i-Social Capital yayiyeyokuqala kwishishini ukusebenzisa ubukrelekrele bokuzenzela ekukhetheni iithagethi zotyalo-mali.

Ifemi ngumtyali mali kwi-Slack, SurveyMonkey kunye nezinye izinto ezininzi zokuqala kwezemfundo, inkonzo yecandelo, ukhathalelo lwempilo kunye nezemali.

Ke, Kwenzeke Ntoni?

Nge-Agasti yonyaka ophelileyo, Palihapitiya ’sUmququzeleli uMamoon Hamid ushiye i-Social Capital ukuba ajoyine i-capital capitalU-Kleiner Perkins Caufield kunye no-Byers, emva kwesivumelwano sokudibana phakathi kweefemu ezimbini ezingaphumelelanga.

NgoJuni walo nyaka, ii-Axios kunye Ithamsanqa aqhekeza amabali amaqabane amathathu-kubandakanya uTony Bates, inkosi yeNgxowa mali enkulu yezeNtlalontle, ingxowa mali yokukhula eyi- $ 1 yezigidigidi-nayo yayishiya. Abanye ababini babengusekela sihlalo uMarc Mezvinsky kunye noArjun Sethi.

I-Social Capital ayikhange igqabaze nangaluphi na olu hambo, kodwa ukufuduka kweqabane kukholelwa ukuba sisiphumo esithe ngqo sokutshintshwa ngesiquphe kwe-Palihapitiya kwisicwangciso senkampani.

Kwi isithuba esiPhakathi epapashwe nge-11 kaJuni, u-Palihapitiya uthe ufuna inkampani igqalise kutyalo-mali kubunjineli nakwiinkampani zedatha, endaweni yokwakha ukubonakaliswa okungafaniyo ngokutyala imali kumacandelo ahlukeneyo okanye ukubuyisela inzuzo kumaqabane.

Olu luvo lubonakala luhambelana noko baxelelwe kona abasebenzi beNtlalo Ithamsanqa ngelo xesha-okoI-Palihapitiya iya kuguqula uninzi lwezinto ezithwalwayo (isabelo senzuzo yotyalo-mali ngokwesiko elinikwa oongxowankulu bezorhwebo) babuyele kwinkampani yotyalo-mali.

Kutheni yayisisivumelwano esikhulu?

Okokuqala, ukumka ngokulandelelana kwabaphathi abaphezulu ngaphakathi kwexesha elifutshane yimeko engaqhelekanga kakhulu yokufunyanwa kwabasebenzi ngawo nawuphi na umlinganiselo. Kwaye kwakumangalisa ukubukela ukuba uPalihapitiya wayekhawuleza kangakanani ukuphulukana nabahlobo kunye namaqabane amashishini kwakhona emva kokuba enqamle ubudlelwane noFacebook.

Kodwa okona kubaluleke nangakumbi, Utshintsho olucwangcisiweyo lwe-Palihapitiya kwiNtlalontle yezeNtlalontle lubeke umzekelo onqabileyo eSilicon Valley kwaye inikezela ngokuchaseneyo nendlela i-capital capital ekufuneka isebenze ngayo.

Ngokwesiko, amashishini amakhulu afumana imali evela kubatyali mali bangaphandle, okanye oko bakubiza ngokuba ngamaqabane ancitshisiweyo. Abo batyalomali banokuba yimali yepenshini, iziseko, izibonelelo zeyunivesithi okanye abantu abazizityebi. Umsebenzi we-VC ngokuyimfuneko kukwenza inzuzo kuloo mali, ngokutyala imali kweziqalo kunye nokuzama ukukhupha imali enkulu emva kwexesha (ngesiqhelo iminyaka esixhenxe ukuya kweli-10) nje ukuba isiqalo sihambe esidlangalaleni okanye sifunyenwe yinkampani enkulu. Ngokulandelayo, i-VC ifumana isahlulo senzuzo, kunye nomrhumo wokulawula imali yamaqabane ancitshisiweyo.

Abagxeki bale modeli bathi le ndlela idala ukukhuthazwa okungenampilo kwabaqalayo ukuba bakhathalele ngakumbi malunga nokuqhuba ukuxabisa inkampani kunye nokufumana ukuphuma kunokwakha iimveliso ezixabisekileyo kunye nokunceda uluntu.

Kudliwanondlebe lwangoLwesine noLwazi, u-Palihapitiya uqinisekisile ukuba i-Social Capital ayisayi kuphinda inyuse imali yangaphandle. Endaweni yoko, ifemi iya kusebenza njenge inkampani ephethe iteknoloji, utshilo kwisithuba esiPhakathi izolo, ukwenza utyalomali kwiinkampani zobuchwephesha ngaphandle komda othile wokuhambisa imbuyekezo.

Andifuni ukuqinisekiswa kwangaphandle. Andiyidingi imirhumo, uxelele uLwazi. [Imali eyinkunzi ayithethi] I-Stanford MBAs kwiivesti zoboya ezibalekayo. Imali eyinkunzi yokuthengisa ibiza imali yamashishini.

Akumangalisi ukuba abasebenzi abaninzi kulindeleke ukuba bahambe.
