Both Sides of the Table

MARCH 31, 2012

I got an email recently from my friend & fellow VC, Jeff Bussgang from Flybridge Capital Partners in Boston. Jeff (also an HBS alum) co-teaches the LTV course with Professor Eisenmann about a student of theirs who had written a blog post about sales taking on some of my previous assertions. And that leads me to today’s post.

I’m a pretty natural public speaker so I can write my presentation the day before and do just fine. I thought through the steps: Get a class of interesting companies.

Being in business since I was 18 years old has led to a lot of conferences, meetings, mixers, classes, tradeshows and after parties. On the card I usually write the date, where I met the person, how I met them and what value I can bring to the table. Once you’ve answered these questions go ahead and contact them in a short email.

I was reading Chris Dixon’s blog tonight. He writes with a great perspective and is well worth reading. I came across this blog post about getting a computer science degree as the best degree for getting into venture capital or working at a VC-backed start up. I had to laugh a bit reading it.

I already had a sense of the heaviness (in a good way) of my forties when I came across this excellent post on one of my favorite blogs WaitButWhy entitled “ The Tail End ,” in which the author uses pictographs to bring the succinctness of life and family time to reality. When I get back I don’t plan to spend 50 hours processing old emails.

So suck that every teacher who scolded us for not paying attention to boring classes or making people with ADD feel less accomplished. Save it to Pocket, bookmark it, email it to yourself or whatever other coping mechanism you have.

In the summer of 2006 over a cup of Peet’s Coffee, you told me about this new thing called “cloud computing” and that you were trying to come up with a creative way to incorporate it into the curriculum of your upcoming UCSB Computer Science class. The term ‘cloud computing’ only caught on much later. From day one we focused on customers.

Sometime around 2003/04 my technology team turned me on to “Spolsky on Software&# a periodic newsletter served up blog style from Joel Spolsky of FogCreek Software, a maker of bug-tracking software. Blogs weren’t popularized yet so it was an oddity for me to read the founder of a software company spewing out advice.
