He first came to see me in 2008 when we was raising money for his 1st startup – NextMedium.

In my previous post, The VC Ice Age is Thawing (for now) I wrote about the reasons why the VC market came to a screeching halt in September 2008 and remained largely shut until at least April 2009. Notice that I didn’t say “social networking.” Let’s be honest – the same is true for VC’s. Seems an obvious fit.
