Chamath’s firm has been described as a strategically magnificent one due to its primary focus on financial services, healthcare and education and providing software as a service. He has invested in a number of online ventures and small companies. Personally, he prefers quality to wealth, Chamath feels that the mentality and aim of people today is to establish star-ups with the sole purpose of earning big bucks and this attitude has ruined the industry and the quality of services.
