I’ve been involved in gender inequity issues since I joined the National Center for Women & Information Technology board in 2005 shortly after it was formed. I told Shila that I’d do the AMA and underwrite all eight founders who were not in a position to make the investment. The hurt is everywhere.

In the mid-1990s, a good friend of mine, Gene Kim (founder of Tripwire and author of When IT Fails: A Business Novel ) and I were in graduate school together in the Computer Science program at the University of Arizona.

I learned this lesson 127 times between 2000 and 2005. I started investing in 1994 and while there was some bumpiness in 1997 and again in 1999, the real pain happened between 2000 and 2005. I have two simple rules for founders in my head from this experience. You might have it in the bank already.

I’ve known the founder and CEO, Charlie Wood, for six years or so. I came close to funding another company of his in the 2005 time frame but that never came together. I’ve been using it for a while (well before we invested) and it works great. Charlie was an early exec at NewsGator but left to pursue his own startup.
