A few months ago some people from Bill's team contacted us about a demo day that they personally give Bill every 4-6 weeks. This particular topic was on Agtech. They said they spend about 400-500 hours researching each market and preparing a 2-hour closed door demo day for Bill and a few of his advisors. For a particular topic they said they research the market and narrow it down to six or seven companies. They ask each company for a bunch of information and then his team gives Bill a 5-10 minute demo of each company followed by a question period.

This is probably just one of many examples how Bill is able to acquire information at such a higher rate than most of us. Quite literally he's probably spending over a million dollars a month on education. For the rest of us, we just have to read HackerNews :)
