SpaceX Investment Regret
Share
Elad Gil shares a story about a missed investment opportunity in SpaceX.
"One of my big regrets is somebody pinged me on the SpaceX round when it was like a $500 million company. I was really excited about it. I thought it was such an interesting game changer. I just didn't have enough money for the minimum check size they had."
