Miles Grimshaw, a general partner at Benchmark, is making a significant career move by rejoining Thrive Capital, a firm where he began his career working with Josh. This transition marks the second high-profile general partner to return to their original firm this quarter, emphasizing a trend towards multi-stage investing. After graduating from Yale in 2013, Grimshaw built an impressive portfolio at Thrive before joining Benchmark three years ago at the young age of 29. Recognized on the @forbes 30 under 30 list for 2017, his return to Thrive, now known as Kushner's Thrive Capital, is seen as a move to possibly invest across different stages of companies. This shift is considered a big talent move within the venture capital industry, highlighting Grimshaw's reputation as a rising star. His departure from Benchmark is particularly noteworthy as it's rare for the firm to lose a partner to a competitor. The venture capital community has expressed support for Grimshaw's decision, emphasizing the potential for future collaboration and multi-stage investing at Thrive.
