Two weeks ago, my partners and I here at NextView Ventures announced our second fund. As my partner Rob Go has written , our goal is to invest half in consumer web and mobile and half in business-focused ventures. We average eight to 10 total new investments per year as a firm, so this frequency is a typical investment pace for us.

Companies are relying on the engineering talent provided by remote, distributed, or as we call them , boundaryless teams. For some time now, it has been possible to outsource engineering labor to other countries. They’re low cost and capable of delivering specific — but mostly basic — engineering services.
