The Denver/Boulder market is actually a vibrant place for digital media companies.

Or when I got a call that an acquisition of a company I was an investor in, which we had struggled through for months and was an outstanding outcome for everyone involved, had been called off because it wasn’t approved at the board level of the public acquirer. Some of the vomit moments, like the last one, are tangible.

I met TA McCann, the CEO / founder of Gist at the first Defrag Conference when he took me for a pair of runs along the Denver Creek Path and it’s been a blast to work with him and the Gist team ever since. Congrats to my friends at Gist for being acquired by RIM.

As part of the acquisition I’ll be joining the Federated Media board of directors (along with Federated founder, John Battelle, FM’s CEO Deanna Brown, FM’s early investor from Panorama Capital Chris Albinson and Fred Harmon of Oak Investment Partners, who led the large Federated financing in 2008).

I need to spend more time in Denver/Boulder, Salt Lake City, and Austin. Lastly, M&A is also still big here – the tech companies who are doing big acquisitions are in the Bay Area (though this is changing too). Other cities that I like are LA (basically my backyard), Boston (oldie but goodie), and ATL.
