You thought media twitter was bad… You thought tech twitter was bad… — Hunter Walk (@hunterwalk) August 24, 2015. This doesn’t happen with every LP and it probably doesn’t kick in unless things get worse. It was a nerve racking morning. My favorite Tweet of the morning came from Hunter Walk.

One of the people I respect the most in the VC/PE media ecosystem is Dan Primack. The first time I used the words “pre-seed” (yes, the initial use was in all lower-case, but then became upper-case over time) was on June 27, 2013, at the K9 Ventures LP Meeting.

I hypothesized that, “Perhaps a contrarian statement in this environment: but even though there’s been a dip in fund size due to broad economic factors and LP appetite, it wouldn’t surprise me if the truly top firms raise even larger funds over the coming decade.” So what’s going on?

When the Mets got to the World Series, they release a kettle corn flavored ice cream with blue and orange M&Ms and a contest on social media around naming the ice cream.

I say emotional because it touched me that a senior media executive would put his life on hold to literally walk and knock on doors. When I went to add partners at Upfront I called an LP of mine and told him I was trying to recruit a new partner named Kara Nortman. I shot back quickly at my LP “ You’re kidding me, right?
