When I reread the plan several years ago for amusement, it motivated me to go dig up plans for other successful companies that I was a co-founder of or early investor in, including NetGenesis and Harmonix. By 1997, when I started investing as a venture capital investor, I was no longer reading business plans.

The prior fund that I had co-founded – Mobius Venture Capital – had blown up after having a very successful first fund in 1997. A year or two later they had less than 3% market share on mobile. The last person who was helpful was Jack Tankersley at Meritage. When I moved to Boulder, Jack was one of my early mentors.

That’s because the making of the company relies on the founders, the CEO, the executives, the team members–in other words, the people who are putting in 80 to 100 hours per week, rather than the board members who are putting in one to two hours per week. Right now, our whole bet is on the CEO and the founders and making them successful.
