'It’s not hard to find people willing to write the narrative that “venture capital is not an asset class” or “venture capital has performed terribly.” The most recent was 18 months ago or so called The Kauffman Report.

'Shannon Byrne is the Content and PR Manager at Mention where she crafts words, creates strategies, and recruits loyal advocates. Back in 2007-2008, when Twitter was really taking off, the PR industry faced a pivot point. It was no longer effective to cold email as many relevant journalists as possible.

'I woke up to a bunch of VC related things in my twitter stream this morning. I had a nice digital sabbath yesterday so I was a little surprised by how much there was. I tried cranking out a #tweetstorm of them using Little Pork Chop but I found the tweetstream experience to be very unsatisfying and very inauthentic feeling. The links are good, so here they are if you want to get in the headspace for what I really want to talk about. 1/11 Things I Read About VC This Morning I Think You Should Ca

'I’m suprised how many founders – even multiple time entrepreneurs – are unfamiliar with the institutional investors that back most of the major venture funds. At Homebrew’s first annual meeting this past spring we invited founders and fund advisors to a dinner with our four major LPs. Those three constituents are our foundation and it was joyous to see them all dive into great conversations about technology, Silicon Valley, and their analysis of the venture industry.

'By now almost everybody knows that Marc Andreessen has taken Twitter by storm. By Tweetstorm, that is. Marc seems to single handedly have changed all conventions in Tweeting by dropping 7-10 rapid Tweets in a related stream-of-consciousness labeling each Tweet with a number and a slash before it.

'It seems easy enough: - Step One: Make some music. - Step Two: Put music up on the Internet. - Step Three: Tell people that you have put music up on the Internet. - Step Four: PROFIT. The truth is that there is a lot of work that goes into creating a successful freelance music career and/or online revenue. But if you are ready to start working hard and you’ve got a good product, you will very likely succeed.
