SoCal CTO
NOVEMBER 1, 2010
I had a recent email dialog with the founder of a company looking for a CTO for their startup. We had several emails back and forth where he provided basic details on the concept. Understand where they were in terms of being able to pay or was this equity-only (sweat equity only). Was it a Startup Founder Developer Gap ?

Wednesday, September 30, 2009 -- Deloitte IPO Workshop. The credit crisis put IPO plans on ice but now rising equity markets coupled with a growing optimism that the worst of the recession could be over are helping to raise hopes that the IPO market is returning. Curious about the current state of the IPO market?

As a result of that, in August of 2009, I gained agreement from our board to go out and consider fundraising. We prepared a presentation to go out to the private equity community, to investigate opportunities to put money into Language Weaver. They were quite attracted to Language Weaver and started to deploy our solutions.

I would argue that the shut-down of September 2009 was equally severe yet there are signs that this “VC Ice Age” has begun to thaw. It helped me avoid chasing deals (and a house) in 2007/08 and it led to GRP’s fastest pace of investment in many years in the first three quarters of 2009 at a time when many others weren’t investing.

The best form of this right now is email, and even then, that's through a one-size-fits-all email. That was a rocket ride as well, and that took us to a top 10 website, and NBC took an equity steak in the company. That's currently very ineffective. I then moved on to Infoseek, which at the time was just a search engine.

thought it would be helpful to put some of my thoughts into a blog post and hopefully spur some conversation in the comments and over email. Dec 26, 2009). equity debate. More tiers = more complication = more confusion. Smart people who can solve other people’s problems very easily but they can’t solve their own problems.
