‘Where is my money coming from?’

Silicon Valley is abuzz over a series of tweets from Chamath Palihapitiya, the venture capitalist and provocateur, suggesting that investment firms and start-ups should look more closely at who’s giving them money.

• “The best GPs should know that they can pick their Capital partner and I would encourage them to ask tougher questions of their LPs.”
