Both Sides of the Table
DECEMBER 16, 2014
We’ve been dying to tell you all for a while that we had raised a new venture capital fund and of course given SEC filing requirements the story was somewhat already scooped by the always-in-the-know Dan Primack a few weeks ago. We raised $280 million. Was it hard to raise the fund? It’s always hard raising money.

According to the SEC we’re not allowed to market the fact that we’re fund raising, so I won’t. That was the topic of my keynote at Seedcon, an event hosted by the University of Chicago, where I am a graduate of the MBA program. The left hand side was dinner, terminal 3, Chicago O’Hare.

So I would say to both an entrepreneur and early investor, let your genius free. Listen to its gut and let it carry you. The rest will follow.
