View from Seed

Despite rumors that the VC business slows down in the summer, we’ve had one or our busiest periods in quite a while. During June, July, and August, we’ve closed 4 new investments and several follow-ons, with a number of companies gearing up to go out in the fall. Although we had a busy summer, I was fortunate enough to take a bit of time off as well, and to step back for a moment and reflect on Nextview’s strategy and market position going forward. .

Sales associates are in the front office, but there’s a lot that happens behind the scenes, too. Back office work, the work that you can’t see happening as a customer, is often the costliest.

On the afternoon of 8/21, I had a Foley Catheter put in. I didn’t think I was going to die (that was the afternoon of 8/22), but I did think I was going to explode. I feel better today. Not 100%. But on the mend. But two weeks ago I was in the midst of a blooming E. Coli infection that started Sunday 8/19 and probably came from some fruit and vegetables I bought at the Aspen Farmers Market on Saturday.

Naturally, you’ll go for the first one because it’s more professional and trustworthy. A company-branded email is obviously more credible than a business that use a free email account that can be created by just anyone.

It’s no secret that we’re in the midst of a pension crisis in the UK, with an estimated nine out of 10 Brits failing to save for their retirement or the prospect of social care. Private and state pension liabilities are also continuing to rise incrementally, creating a scenario where people cannot afford to retire until far later in life. This makes for a potentially toxic combination, and one that could impact on an entire generation of savers.

Professional career development is no trivial undertaking. The process is supposed to be both arduous and time-consuming, but that doesn’t mean you have to do it alone. In fact, career development without guidance supplied by another seasoned perspective can sometimes yield counterproductive results. That’s why it’s important to add some clarity to the decision-making process for anyone struggling to advance their business career.
