I first met Ethan in 2005. In the same year they won Business Insider’s Startup competition.

We'd like to be one of the most prominent investors in Southern California. An A-round investment in the late 90's, or even in 2005/2006, or 2007, was a $5-8M check.

I raised money as an entrepreneur, like you, in 1999, 2000, 2001, 2003 and 2005 for two different companies. For example, if you’re looking to approach Kleiner Perkins it’s worth knowing that my friend Matt Murphy runs their iFund and therefore is the in-house expert on all things mobile. In Accel that’s Rich Wong.
