2007 2009 Book Writing 
Both Sides of the Table
JUNE 12, 2010
We both felt that the critical reasoning skills and writing skills were critical to our career development. BookRenter – plus a discussion about Chegg … what is going on in the university book market? We talked about the analogies between what NetFlix achieved in movies and whether this is relevant to the book market.

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.

I’ve been meaning to write this post since September of last year when Brad Feld first wrote about the The Founders Visa Movement. I commented briefly on his blog and made a mental note to write a blog post. At the time he granted me permission to write about his story. In 2007 Salesforce.com wanted to buy Koral.

But when I’m looking to write my check I need to look in the eyes of the captain — the maestro who brings the whole orchestra together. I recently read the book eBoys about the founding of Benchmark Capital and the founding of eBay. In the book they profile how VC worked in the early days (60s / 70s). They finally quit.

it is also the title of a fabulous book from Internet 1.0 by Michael Woolf that is worth any startup founder reading to get a sense of perspective on the reality warp that is startup world during a frothy market such as 1997-1999, 2005-2007 or 2012-2014. I am not suggesting these are bad sources of capital – they are not.

Brad was openly writing about this and it felt like he was giving the VC playbook away for free! We write about $40 million of first-checks into new deals / year and about $40 million of follow-on investments. As you can see below, investments have skyrocketed – up 300% since 2009. But let me be even more clear.
