Matt Cohler Leaving Facebook

Below is a very interesting but kind of long interview with Bill Gurley from Benchmark Capital (investor in Vudu, Open Table, and Zillow) and his soon to be colleague Matt Cohler. Cohler spent the past three years at Facebook where he headed product management and before that was integral to Linkedins' efforts to get off the ground. What's more impressive is that he is only 31! TechCrunh's Michael Arrington (Silicon Valley blogging god) discusses a variety of topics with Bill and Matt, touching Facebook's future, Linkedin's sucess, Benchmark Capital's unique model, Matt's new role, VC 101, as well the future of Yahoo. While Matt is quite impressive during the interview, I particularly took notice of Bill's comment that technology and investing rely youth and enthusiasm. Its this concept, that provides the upward mobility, career advancement, and new opportunities that I cherish in Silicon Valley. Getting in the door in SV is tough, but its abundantly clear with guys like Matt, Zuckerberg, Kevin Rose, the Youtube Founders, and so many young SV prodigies, that this area affords smart and ambitious young people an opportunity to find an early career prime in their late twenties and early thirties.
