Both Sides of the Table

Between 2006–2008 I sold both companies that I had started and became a VC. SEEING THINGS FROM THE VC SIDE OF THE TABLE While I was a VC in 2007 & 2008 those were dead years because the market again evaporated due the the Global Financial Crisis (GFC).

In 2006 I started using Facebook and most of my friends & colleagues thought I was strange. In 2008 I started VC blogging. I went to an industry event where people actually called me self-centered for writing publicly. They thought it was like MySpace and why did I need a MySpace page? In 2011 I started using Instagram.

Then fans would be tasked with writing their own stories, submitting them to the Realms of Ruin universe by minting them as NFTs on the Solana blockchain. If the authors are inviting fans to write fan fiction about a universe they created, who owns the derivative works? Another unabashed proponent of fan fiction is N.K.

We do, as of the writing of this in early December, seem to be seeing a correction at this time. The biggest news was the continued bullish market now coming on ten years even though historical cycles show markets don't usually last more than 7-8 years. I had expected a correction much earlier in the year and I was wrong.

I will write more about this in the next 2 weeks. It’s like people arguing that there’s a beautiful beach house in 2006 that represents great long-term value due to scarcity of similar property. All of that might be true, but the 2006 price might still be over-valued. That happened a lot in 2002 and again in 2008.

This should not be confused with raising too much money as many companies did in 2006-08. Bu when you start to worry that the world is ending (as it seemed it was in late 2008 / early 2009) you tend to get worried about large burn rates. But imagine a VC that did 12 deals per year in 2006, 2007 & 2008.

I’ve been meaning to write this post since September of last year when Brad Feld first wrote about the The Founders Visa Movement. I commented briefly on his blog and made a mental note to write a blog post. At the time he granted me permission to write about his story. Felipe grew up in Brazil. Irony, hey?).
