The Importance of Teams and Why the Best Leaders Cultivate Them

Both Sides of the Table

I was watching my favorite show on TV this morning – GPS (Global Public Square) with Fareed Zakaria. It is a hugely compelling show because Zakaria covers world issues that will affect all of us in ways that are accessible and with frameworks for processing disparate information. He brings knowledgable experts from varying points of view but never books anybody that engages in yelling matches.

Seriously, SAP?

deal architect

SAP has a new spokesperson, Phil. He is pretty slick: “there’s no such thing as being fashionably late to a paradigm shift” He is also condescending to his lady boss. I hear he is doing a series, so in keeping.

I’m drowning.  Are you?

Hippoland

I’m going to digress from what I usually write about – the ins and outs of raising seed $$. A few weeks ago, a mentor to me asked me to jump into a new opportunity. Although it was super exciting, I basically said no. I’ve just been totally drowning with work, family, friends, hobbies, life – my sanity. I wasn’t keen to take on anything new.

A sharp mind can help us think, provide a philosophical framework, and understand the changes that matter in the fields we care about.

We at USV certainly find truth in that, see both Kik and Koko and Libov’s thoughts here. There are a bunch of reasons why this could be the case.

Why #imwithher and voting for Hillary Clinton

This is going to be BIG.

First off, I think that Hillary Clinton and John Kasich are pretty much the only reasonable candidates left in the race, but I agree with her on most of the basic dividing line issues--choice, LGBT Rights, gun control, etc--so it's not too hard for me.
