将投中网设为"星标⭐"，第一时间收获最新推送 中国VC也一样。 作者丨 董师傅 来源丨 投中网 今天蒲凡他们发了一期音频节目。里边夸了曹曦招人待见，以及美元 VC 回来了这些话。我上期节目就是看了这 篇稿子，才说不喜欢曹毅曹曦两位老板，我跟他们的看法是有分歧的，或者说标准是不同的，不过投中网就这 样，你有你的看法，我有我的，我会把我的标准摆出来，但听不听都行，人和人没有共识，我早就接受了。投中 网有些内容跟我价值观没那么一致，这也没什么可辩驳的，我当主编，底线之上就行，有问题还是我买单。当然 了，我自己的表达也不需要谁替我承担，我批评谁我吹捧谁，也是我自己为自己负责。 今天正好借这个话题谈谈美元基金和硅谷。 先从沈南鹏、张颖、曹毅、曹曦四位聊起。 首先解释一下我的看法。 在我看来，曹毅的品牌思路还是红杉的子集，而曹曦则是在走经纬的路子。 拿曹毅来说，他在讲话、表达、处世，以及投资策略上，都有很重的沈南鹏的影子。比如以前底片写过，他是 VC2.0 里规模化打法最坚决的，就是用规模加杠杆，出来先投贝壳这种中后期的案子。而品牌上也很像。我对他 和沈南鹏的表达的理解，都是 " 先知 " 式的。做个不恰当的比喻是上神龛 ...
