For me Bubble will always be inexorably linked to what went down in 1999 and 2000 in the internet sector. It is intentional. do not think we are in a Bubble per se. | A VC : VENTURE CAPITAL AND TECHNOLOGY NOVEMBER 21, 2010 Pacing Yourself So no one investment at a "bubble valuation" will impact our average valuations across our portfolio. If we spread those 60 to 100 investments over a six to eight year period, we can average out the valuation spikes and valleys.

ISRAEL VENTURE CAPITAL 2.0 | MONDAY, DECEMBER 26, 2011  Mellanox – Passing the Billion Dollar limit
Back then, I was trying to list the reasons for the lack of large venture backed companies (large = $1bn valuation and above).

START-UP BUSINESS TALK | TUESDAY, AUGUST 2, 2011  How To Sell Your Tech Startup
Blogger is started in 1999 and takes off unexpectedly (while they're pouring all of their efforts into Pyra). This hurt them in the short-term; particularly when they were hearing from other VCs that their VC didn't want to fund them because he wanted a higher valuation.

THE STARTUP LAWYER | SATURDAY, OCTOBER 9, 2010 Mentorship over Money (and Office Space)
Good luck trying to convince even the most nascent of startups to take your investment at around a $100k post-money valuation. Partying like it’s 1999 is one thing — running an 2010 accelerator like it’s 1999 is probably not a great idea. Some have done quite well. Pretty expensive seed capital. MORE >>
