2008 2011 Pricing Writing 
Both Sides of the Table
JUNE 5, 2011
2 preamble issues having read the comments on TC today: 1: I know that the prices of startup companies is much great in Silicon Valley than in smaller towns / less tech focused areas in the US and the US prices higher than many foreign markets. You can be pissed off, but I don’t set prices. That’s stupid.

That’s how it felt then and a bit how it feels in May 2011. years ago you’d remember RIP Good Times from Sequoia, which still strikes me as having been prudent advice in late 2008. I started by writing 3-4 times / week. And 18 months later, in May 2011, I have crossed 422,000 views. So which is it? I did that?

I will write more about this in the next 2 weeks. But that doesn’t mean that people are paying rational prices as investors based on intrinsic value. Rational people can disagree and some may argue that today’s prices are rational and under-pinned by economic drivers. I believe that. That’s fine.

In the latter cases many companies (Flickr, Delicious, Blogger, Writely in 05-08 and lately Invite Media, Aardvark, Dodgeball, etc.) If 2011 & 2012 look like 2010 then the current crop of angel investments will look great. This is cheaper for them than waiting for big competitors and buying companies at big prices.

I myself coined the term ENIFA (everyone now is a f **g angel) in 2011 but it didn’t stick as well as the term Unicorn did. Even if one disagrees with the premise, why would anyone feel the need to attack Mike for writing it? I was trying to cheekily suggest that it was the new status symbol. This is a hard one.

In the latter case many companies (Flickr, Delicious, Blogger, Writely, etc.) If 2011 & 2012 look like 2010 then the current crop of angel investors will look great. My thesis on why this is happening is that large tech companies didn’t invest enough in R&D between 2008-2010 (Google even went through layoffs!!!)

In April 2011, the Association of Coupon Professionals held an Industry Conference in Atlanta to address the present and future state of couponing.
