Does anyone recall which VC firm Jim Clark had beef with after being betrayed during his time at Silicon Graphics?

New Enterprise associates. It's in the New New Thing by Michael Lewis.
I'm not entirely sure now. But it's covered in the book mentioned here and by the other poster.

KPCB, I believe. ("The New New Thing" by Michael Lewis is a great retelling of Jim Clark's adventures)

Huh interesting (and my first hunch was KPCB as well), since he works with KPCB in his subsequent ventures, including Netscape (I seem to recall that his beef was with one particular partner rather than the firm as a whole, so maybe that is why).
The valley grudges by top executives has always been amusing and entertaining to me -- for example, Ben Horowitz's refusal to work with E&Y after they nearly blocked their acquisition by HP.
As a side note the cap table of Netscape
Why was Netscape a weird example (to me) of Equity Sharing between Founders
For those who don't know the story.
