Venture Capitalist Having The Time Of His Life
from the this-is-fun dept
A great article from Stewart Alsop (who generally writes pretty interesting columns) saying that, as a venture capitalist, he's having more fun now than before. Certainly things were fun when he was making a ton of money with every company he invested in - but everyone was - so there was never any challenge or skill involved. He felt as if he were just in the right place at the right time. A year ago a conversation with a portfolio CEO would be about valuation. Now it's about business and that's much more exciting and challenging.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
