That is tough to hear. I've never met Mike Moritz but he has had a notable impact on my life. I read an interview once where he said that he likes to invest in people under 30. When I heard that in my mid-20s I made it a point to move to silicon valley as soon as I could.
Whenever people would ask why I had this irrational sense of urgency of leaving Chicago (where I was doing my first startup) I would say "Ever heard of this guy Mike Moritz? He said they don't like to invest people over 30 and i'm already 26!" Of course it was me just rationalizing but nonetheless it's the first thing that comes to my mind when I hear anything about Mike. Like Napoleon said, "Everything on earth is soon forgotten, except the opinion we leave imprinted on history"
