One of the firm’s more infamous marketing stunts was their 2011 music video, entitled I’m A VC. We write blogs, we do music videos, we show up, we engage with people…we love our product. Write Your Own Playbook. If you have ever dealt with pretentious investors, you may pull a muscle laughing. We have never done a press release.

I’ve been on the road much of 2012 and part of 2011. I plan to write about it early next year when we’re all through. Investor emails. Hell, I send those emails. I didn’t sleep much back then. I was on the road much and I internalized much of the stress so that others didn’t have to. Center seat.

Matt was one of my inspirations behind Launchpad LA (yes, we’re going to have a program in 2011 – news very, very soon). Big thank you to Darius Vasefi , of EyeOnJewels for the write up. Don’t and you might make one catastrophic mistake that leaves you in the annals of Effed Companies.

We had email, instant messaging, group calendars, discussion boards, etc. They had a proprietary browser, their own search engine, their own content, chat rooms, email system, etc. But AOL brought online services, email, chat and discussion boards to the masses and thus educated a generation that paved the way for others.

I always enjoy a great guerilla marketing story, such as TestFlight’s use of T-shirts and Tacos to gain Steve Jobs’ attention at Apple’s 2011 developers’ conference. However at the 2011 Hospitality Conference, he allowed his desire to make an impact impair his reasoning when he hired a band of masked parcours. Share and Enjoy.

One of the hardest things about being a blogger is drawing that line between being a business owner and writing for passion. Most bloggers wouldn’t turn down the opportunity to make a full time income from writing their blog. This means more people sign up for your email list when you have the pop up box than when you don’t.

Then we rescued it from nothing around the end of 2011. Let me share an email I got today. The email says, “Your app helped me find a job that was better than my current one and allowed me to have a better life at the moment. Meaning, write very good job descriptions, but that doesn’t mean you need to write long ones.

If you follow the tech media you would be subject to a lot of narrative biases that are completely off base – and this includes the value of email and phone calls. I’m sure you’ve heard the meme that “email is dead” – if fact if you Google it you’ll find a long list of articles that will mislead you.
