Andreessen Horowitz's talent agency model

I can see the benefits of such a company for a select group of individuals. However, the rest of the population may be treated as second-rate professionals; like the way it is with Hollywood. Most "talent" in Hollywood are not the best and brightest. They're either well connected or extremely lucky (with very few exceptions).

If an idea like this were to be successful, I think we'd see a flood of talented people more interested in being stars than being productive.

But, then again, maybe we're already there.

Kudos to them for innovating.

I don't think I'd want to hear that statement come from someone who is investing my money.
