JANUARY 22, 2014

It’s insanely competitive to get into our industry so most have degrees from institutions like Stanford, Harvard, Wharton and University of Chicago (blatant plug ;-). Of course it is super helpful if a VC can drop you in to important people for business development, recruiting, PR, sales and eventually M&A. Startups are hard.

We have companies in Chicago, San Francisco (and elsewhere in Silicon Valley), Omaha, and New York. Investing in first-time founders, or startups where biz model is not clear yet: “I tend not to worry about that.” More functionally, Boston needs to improve its design, branding, and PR skills.

JUNE 22, 2011

For others it feels like a two-speed economy, where rules apply to hot tech startups that don’t apply elsewhere. I learned long ago at the University of Chicago where I got my MBA that investors tend to want to invest when markets become over-valued and sell when they become undervalued. That’s a fact.
