Nevertheless, if you say \u201cHunter and Satya\u201d in Silicon Valley, people will know exactly who you are talking about.  Hunter Walk came to homebrew with experience as a product leader at YouTube and Google.  Meanwhile, Satya Patel's background was as a seasoned investor at Battery Ventures and product leader at Twitter. In this episode we discuss the power of partnerships in Silicon Valley.  In particular we talk about the power of the 2 -person partnership (see also:  Andreessen Horowitz), why the alchemy has to be right, and why some don\u2019t make it. We also discuss the evolution of Homebrew from a firm backed by outside capital (from Limited Partners or \u201cLPs\u201d) to one in which the two founders deploy their own capital. Finally, we cover Hunter and Satya\u2019s newest fund:  Screendoor.  Screendoor has a mission of supporting underrepresented General Partners of emerging venture capital funds by providing capital, access and mentorship.
