Rap Genius co-founder Mahbod Moghadam is a testament to just how far you can push a venture capitalist. The Yale graduate is one of tech's foremost delusional fools--repeatedly embarrassing himself, his company, and everyone connected with it. He eventually resigned from the startup after publicly praising parts of a serial killer's manifesto. Yet it took a post about thieving from Whole Foods for one of his investors to finally disown him.
My Two Cents
For those of you who have followed Rap Genius (now called Genius.com) -- are you surprised at this outcome? I can't imagine the A16 discussions / screaming matches with these guys! Must have been fun to be in the room. Yes, Andreessen Horowitz invested $15 mm into these nut jobs! Can't win them all!
