As a result I didn’t write my first venture capital check until March 2009 – exactly 5 years ago. I divided success into the phases of venture capital and 18 months into writing my first check here was my view (details on each in the link above). Sourcing high-quality leads : 9/10.

Mine is writing this blog post, indirectly. They are coaching our kids in their spare time, or full time, and IMHO, they are standing in the blue circle, maybe a slightly different one, but it’s still in the middle of what matters. Added after posting… My son Jacob just called me while I was writing this post.

So part of playing an effective coach is helping the team to see the answer for themselves. We talk a lot about his schooling, his early jobs as a developer and then as a VC and we talk about his decision to spend winters in Los Angeles. In stead of just writing operating and funding advice Fred also talks about industries.

I grew up in Los Angeles and went to undergrad at UC Santa Barbara, graduating in 2003 with Honors in Economics. You are writing about the essentials of business. I am planning right not to write a post about how startups often get SEO wrong. Los Angeles is a great place for startups. That's great.

In addition to helping manage the board Chris also helps represent the interests of the angel investors / common stock holders. Oh, and did I mention: Roger – NYC, Rob/Rory – NorCal, Nick/Chris – London & me – Los Angeles. He is very pleasant when he calls and writes. Rob does it. On steroids.

I also think there's an interesting opportunity in Los Angeles, as the tech scene continues to develop and mature. The last thing, is understanding how open and receptive all of these CEOs were to feedback, coaching, and improvement. If you look at the rise of enterprise technology here in LA, there's a great opportunity.
