When people ask me how they can become a VC, I point them to my partner Seth Levine’s excellent blog posts How to become a venture capitalist and How to get a job in venture capital (revisited). The post My First Experience As A Venture Capitalist appeared first on Feld Thoughts. An accidental one.

I’m on a six week rhythm in Seattle for the three boards I’m on up here – Gist , BigDoor , and Impinj. It was an absurdly beautiful day in Seattle. It’s about 33% full but that’s going to change next week when TechStars Seattle begins and fills out the place. When the sun is out, this place shines.

Yesterday we closed our fifth fund, Foundry Venture Capital 2016, L.P. In 2007 we raised our first fund – Foundry Venture Capital 2007. As with all four of our other funds, it’s a $225 million fund. We subsequently raised a $225 million fund in 2010 , another one in 2013 , and a late stage fund in 2013.

George, Chicago, Des Moines, Burlington, Seattle, Detroit, Boston, Montreal, Toronto, Lexington (KY), and Palm Desert. Foundry Group adds $225M to its venture capital pool. This is the first time I’ve done three weekends back to back (I’ve done two before). I love this country (and Canada). Or send her flowers.

Jon Staenberg, a long-time friend from Seattle who did an interview with Harry on episode 034 , dropped me the following email at the end of April: He seems like a good guy, want to be part of his podcast? Ever in seattle? I told Jon I’d be game. Harry responded immediately and we did a podcast together six weeks ago.

I don’t know if it’s because Danielle is in the bay area (while Rand is in Seattle), or the story has broadened. I also wrote a post about the financing using Mattermark as An Example of How We Decide to Invest. Interestingly, the media wrote more this time. in Funding: Here is the Valuation, Term Sheet and Why We’re Doing It.
