1999 Internet Naming Partner 
Both Sides of the Table
OCTOBER 19, 2009
I had previously raised VC in 1999, 2000, 2001 and 2005. I had really positive experiences such as working with Greg Gretsch at Sigma Partners where he championed us to a partners’ meeting where we sort of got crucified. The managing partner of the firm called me the next day. Tempus Fugit.

The right company and colleagues are better than the perfect title, role or brand name. It was 1999 and I had valuable Internet skills.
