Chess

It's at least plausible, if speculative, that David Sacks is the contributor of $2500 to agadmator's Chess Channel on YouTube He is sufficiently heeled and a competent chess player, e.g., "Part of the IPO day festivities included Peter Thiel (right) taking on multiple PayPal employees in simultaneous chess matches. David Sacks (center) was the only one who beat him."^[1] A David Sacks contribution shows up in a game commentary at One Does Not Simply Waste a Move Against Capablanca, both audibly at the end and visually throughout.

Section on Zenefits

The section on Sacks' tenure at Zenefits seems to be somewhat biased in favor of Sacks' perspective; there have been many criticisms of his leadership style from fellow VCs calling out how the company lost ground to Rippling. I think this should be made more clear in the relevant section. GlobeGores (talk page | user page) 17:13, 13 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
