Both Sides of the Table
DECEMBER 11, 2022
I started my first company in 1999 and was admittedly swept up in all of this: Magazine covers, fancy conferences, artificial valuations and easy money. Between 2006–2008 I sold both companies that I had started and became a VC. Starting in 2009 I began writing checks consistently, year-in and year-out.

I had finally appeared on the front cover of a magazine (TornadoInsider – then the top European VC magazine) but I felt so fat in the picture I never sent it to anybody. I’m normally too cool to write posts like this. I prefer to write the December 2010 post about what a great year I had.

Brands didn’t advertise their web pages they advertised “AOL Keywords.&# You couldn’t pick up a magazine in the 96-99 timeframe without seeing AOL Keywords advertised everywhere. Since 2006 I have been lamenting what I see as “the Facebook problem&# – they are trying to lump me into one big social network.
