they have bigger competition now when you think of greylock and andreessen horowitz, kind of the newock. but let's not count them out. they were in nest, which sold to google. they were in snapchat. i think they need an influx of fresher talent but it is still one of the eager names and i think it will survive this case despite the bad publicity. publicity tom perkins brought to the firm with his infamous op-ed piece about the 1%, where he compared the persecution of rich people, saying i would call attention to the parallels of fascist nazi germany and its 1%, namely it jews, to the progressive war on the rich. is that something about their culture where they just think they are different from everyone else? brad: i don't think so. even though one of the founding names, he was no longer at the firm. no organization is judged by its alumni. i think they have distanced themselves -- i don't think that hurt the brand as much as this trial has. it has been such a slow buildup to the case. i think they did not enjoy those comments a few years ago, but i would not compare that to this whe

for more, the chairman and ceo of greylock capital is speaking with me. did i say your name right?ot it. the minister of commerce -- energy commerce industry and tourism of the republic of cyprus. a pleasure to have you here. this is a horrible flashback for that government. what do you think is going on right now behind closed doors in athens? >> for sure, what we want to make clear is that we have deep religious and the glue stick ties with greece and we do wish there were a solution to this. we could find a way out of this situation. greece prolongs to the eurozone the crew -- the cornerstone of democracies today. at the same time, i would like to distinguish what is happening with greece to it is happening in cyprus. this flashback come a couple years ago, tough times in march 2015, especially decisions that took place at a different time. we knew that was the deal and we have been focused on executing and i'm happy to say we're well on our way to recovery and we expect to be back on growth. >> does it make you mad the greek government is saying, you know what, i do not want th
