We expect harvest to occur three weeks earlier than our 2013 crop, which was picked on October 3. A month ago, 2013 had the most GDD over the last 21 years. The coolest season was 2003, but now 1998 takes that category. We are at 972 GDD, which is 17 GDD, or about one day, behind 2013. Today, 1997 is the leader.

I invested in Silicon Valley from 1999-2003 and in NYC pre and post 2008 financial crisis. The most exciting part of this future is the far-reaching global innovation and increased participation by women that I haven’t seen in previous cycles. And, above all, have a wonderful 2013 filled with much happiness, health and success!

VIPKid , which was founded in 2013 by Cindy Mi , is a truly amazing story.

Multiply that by literally a couple thousand, and that’s what 2013 is going to look like in Silicon Valley, and to a lesser degree some other startup ecosystems. Zucker, a veteran news executive, will succeed Jim Walton, who has had the job since 2003. Companies we never really got to know are simply starting to fade away.
