TCV co-founder Jay Hoag has served on Netflix's board since 1999, providing patient capital through multiple market cycles. TCV invested $400M in Netflix during a 70% stock decline in 2011. However, portfolio company Peloton—where Hoag serves as Board Chairman—conducted multiple layoff rounds: 2,800 employees (20%) in 2022, 400 (15%) in 2024 under departing CEO Barry McCarthy, 6% in 2025, and 11% in 2026. TCV's long-duration approach conflicts with aggressive restructuring at struggling investments.
