This Week in Venture Capital – Episode 2

Both Sides of the Table

I was on This Week in Venture Capital (TWiVC) again this week with Jason Calacanis. I don’t believe that search is the only answer in 2010 as it was in 2000. I think the best solution for the social networking era is “in-stream&# advertising. In my mind, not a typical VC investment. OTHER STUFF.
