Bill Gurley Jumps to Benchmark Capital
from the big-name-VC-shuffling dept
Hummer Winblad's famous partner, Bill Gurley, has jumped ship to Benchmark Capital. Something of a surprise, as he's extremely well known, and has certainly (in my opinion, at least) been a great PR vehicle for Hummer. This makes Benchmark even stronger as a VC firm. Gurley remains one of about three columnists around these parts who I always feel the need to read. I assume he'll continue to write his columns, and give some of that PR value (as well as partner value) to Benchmark.
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
