Ron Conway: More Reasons To Go All Angel
- phil_KartMe 18y agoI dream of finding an angel like Ron Conway on the East Coast. It feels like most former consumer web CEOs and executives are on the west coast.
- fallentimes 18y agoThere aren't any. Hopefully one day there will be an east coast version of Silicon Santa.
- ScottWhigham 18y agoI don't know Ron Conway but I'm always cautious about taking advice from someone who is an {0} who tells me that I should really consider using a {0} instead of a {1}. Interesting article and I don't refute any of the points ( I like them actually) but, to me, it's sort of like Paul Graham telling me that I should use seed capital; I always wonder, "Is he really being altruistic and sharing this info or is there an ulterior motive? In other words, why is this man writing this [i.e., doing this interview] instead of spending time with his family/hobbies? There has to be a reason - is it because he truly wants to helps others or a more profitable reason?" I know that sounds cynical - it sounds cynical as I write it - but it's how I think.
