SHOW NOTES:

VCs USED TO LOVE THE CLOUD

In the old days, the first $50M of VC funding went to Cisco, EMC, Sun and Oracle. And then the public cloud came along, and that shifted to the first $5M going to AWS.

NOW VCs ARE ACTIVELY FIGHTING AGAINST THE MONSTER THEY HELPED CREATE

VCs are learning that bandwidth costs never come down
VCs would like to get more of the profits, which are going to AWS
Now VCs are putting their money behind other clouds
Is this a trend that will continue?
