These two trends had a major impact on the computing industry from 2000-2005 but the effects weren’t yet felt by the VC industry. That’s awesome for users of Salesforce.com or companies that want to cater to them but less awesome for pure startups that want independence and are really just looking for cloud infrastructure.

I don''t remember when I started talking to Rob, but I know it was before February of 2005, because I found "rob@businesspundit.com" in the contacts I ported over when I left GM and went to USV.

I raised money as an entrepreneur, like you, in 1999, 2000, 2001, 2003 and 2005 for two different companies. You need to build genuine relationships with these portfolio startup founders as well as trust with them and the rest will follow.

I have to admit, the light bulb didn’t go off for me until I was negotiating term sheets.

Open source is the wrong term though; instead is probably better to say automate since LegalZoom and others are doing the same thing but commercially.
