Upon closing of the transaction, Reid will join the combined company Board of Directors. Reid serves as a co-director of Reinvent Technology Partners (RTP), a special purpose acquisition company that intends to merge with Joby Aviation. His unique understanding of consumer behavior and a clear-eyed ability to guide startups from inception through ramped-up “blitzscaling” has made him one of the most sought-after advisors, partners, and investors today. Reid joined Greylock in 2009 and focuses on early-stage investing in products that can reach hundreds of millions of participants. The goal, like in any good trip, was to learn as much about my traveling partner as the place I was exploring. As an investor, he has been instrumental in the success of iconic companies such as Facebook and Airbnb and has helped fast-growing newcomers like Aurora and Convoy get to scale. With GPT-4, I traveled through light bulb jokes, epic poems, original sci fi plots, and musings on how AI might strengthen democracy, society and industries. An accomplished entrepreneur and executive, he played an integral role in building many of today’s leading consumer technology businesses, including LinkedIn and PayPal. Reid builds networks to grow iconic global businesses, as an entrepreneur and as an investor. Hoffman is a partner at Greylock Partners and a board member at Microsoft Corp., which bought LinkedIn in 2016 and backs OpenAI.
