But then also will take that moment to step back and ask the questions about ethical construction, deployment, et cetera. How do you evaluate for that?
不过,我们会抓住时机退一步想,询问一些关于道德建设、部署等等的问题。你对此如何评价呢?
Well, it’s not a simple formula. But one of the things we do pretty rigorously is reference checking.
嗯,这并不是一个简单的公式。但我们执行得相当严格的一件事是背景调查。
You haven’t completed your reference checks until you found a negative reference check on everybody in the world.
直到找到世界上每个人的一个负面背景调查信息,才算完成了背景调查。
So for example, if someone was reference checking me in depth, what they would find is, oh my gosh, he’s a really great creative problem solver but he’s not particularly good at making the trains run on time.
打个比方,如果有人对我进行深入的背景调查,他们会发现我是一个非常有创造力的问题解决者,但我特别不擅长让火车准点运行。
And obviously when you’re asking the integrity question, you’re asking a question of how much do you actually in fact walk the walk, not just talk the talk.
很明显,当你问诚信问题时,你实际上问的是你到底有多少是兑现了的,而非仅仅口头说说而已。
How much when you’re getting in positions of stress do you make decisions, for example that say, no, no.
当你处于压力状态时,你会做出什么样的决定,会暂停吗?
Yeah, that would be the easy decision, but that takes risks in other people’s wellbeing. Let’s take the hard decision. Do you honor your commitments?
是的,这是一个简单的决定,但这是在拿别人的幸福冒险。让我们做出艰难的决定吧。你遵守了你的承诺吗?
And therefore when you’re saying, “Hey, we’re going to have a commitment to make sure that we are tracking how we impact society, and we’re going to have dashboards on it and we’re going to be improving them year by year, will you be doing that?
因此,当你说,“嘿,我们必须做出承诺,确保对我们影响社会的方式进行追踪,我们要安装仪表板,我们要逐年进行改进,你会这样做吗?”
Talk a little bit about the role that the tech world, the VC world, an industry that is still very much dominated by rich white men, has to play in increasing inclusivity and also decreasing socioeconomic equality.
稍微谈谈科技界、风投界,一个仍由富有的白人男性主导的行业,在增加包容性与增加社会经济不公方面所扮演的角色。
One of the things that I’ve been saying for maybe a decade plus now, anytime you look at a problem you go, that’s important to solve, you go, if you’re not part of the solution then you’re part of the problem.
十多年来我一直在说的一件事是,任何时候你看到一个问题,重要的是去解决问题。如果你不是解决方案的一部分,那你就成为了问题的一部分。
So you need to be saying, how am I as an individual and also of course as a firm and everything else, investing in trying to solve this problem? How am I putting in sweat and blood into trying to make this happen?
需要表达,作为个人、公司以及其他角色,我是如何通过投资来解决这个问题的? 我是如何为实现这一目标而付出汗水和鲜血的?
And so relative to diversity and inclusion in making sure that you have a regular workflow and process by which you’re trying to recruit, you’re trying to meet entrepreneurs.
与多样性和包容性相关的是,要保证拥有一个常规的工作流程、过程,通过这个流程进行招聘,努力结实企业家。
We do things at Greylock like have a set of office hours that’s only for underrepresented minority entrepreneurs.
我们在Greylock(风投公司)设置了一段办公时间,这段时间只针对代表不足的少数群体企业家。
We do in any recruiting thing, make sure that we are interviewing disproportionately large numbers of underrepresented minorities, including unfortunately in venture, women, which is like, well, aren’t they half the population?
我们在招聘时,要保证我们面试的是比例失调、大量未被充分代表的少数群体。不幸的是,其中包括风投领域的女性。你会说,女性不是占人口的一半吗?
You’re like, yes. And doing everything you can.
是的。尽你所能、全力以赴。
