1999 Internet Social Network Technical Review 
Both Sides of the Table
MAY 23, 2012
I have been close to the tech & startup sectors for more than 20 years and I can’t think of a period in which I felt more optimistic about the innovation and value creation I see in front of us.

I had previously raised VC in 1999, 2000, 2001 and 2005. There was no viral social networking products back then like Twitter where people could easily discover your content.

There is all sorts of advice on the Internet about how to raise capital. I’ve raised in boom markets and when everybody thought the Internet was a fraud. I raised money as an entrepreneur, like you, in 1999, 2000, 2001, 2003 and 2005 for two different companies. Of course much of it is conflicting. Right for my stage?
