Jim Goetz on stream access law
From MSU Library Trout & Salmonid Lecture 2022 - Jim Goetz · · Montana State University Library
“The goal of this group is to establish in the state and expanded by the other part of the public taxes and then I discussed various theories and you can see there that I was leery about the title of this and one of the problems is that when Montana was admitted to the union shortly after he had seated all the land to the low water park to the preparing honor so the title was a problem for us it was 1995 case Gibson B Kelly which talked about the ownership only to the low water park so we were a little worried about title and that theory slide about some other theories like public use public easement type theories and eventually we developed the public trust Theory but then at the bottom this is more attack you see I say care should be taken and selecting the right defendant find one rich enough and erasable enough to dig the case all the way and find one and will not have the sympathy of the judge and Donald Trump wasn't available.”

About Jim Goetz
Jim Goetz, a partner at Sequoia Capital, has spoken about his investment philosophy, emphasizing that the firm is more interested in entrepreneurs who are passionate about solving a specific pain point for a specific customer than in those who present large total addressable markets (TAMs). He has cited examples such as Yahoo, Google, YouTube, and Apple, arguing that each started by addressing a narrow problem or market. Goetz has stated, "We regularly see entrepreneurs come in and talk about billion-dollar markets, large TAMs, and that's just not as interesting to us as the passion that comes from trying to solve a very specific pain point for a very specific customer." Goetz has also discussed the importance of mentorship, drawing on his own experience with a professor at the University of Cincinnati. He has spoken about the need for venture capital firms to embrace change and adaptability, noting that Sequoia has "reinvented herself almost every few years" over its 50-year history. In a 2022 appearance, he described the period as a time of transition from greed to fear in the markets, calling it "a time of excitement and a time to plant seeds." He has also commented on the importance of having fun in one's work, stating, "If you're enjoying what you're doing then it's never a day of work in your life."
