MG Siegler: On The Next Venture
- thewordpainter 15y agoi'd like to think a guy that has been at the center of the technology beat with some of the best opinions in the biz is a good person to have on the VC side.
- tatsuke95 15y agoSo, an Apple fanatic becomes a VC. Can we all agree we're in a bubble?
- jeffgreco 15y agoIf this means less Siegler writing in the mainstream tech press, then I'm all for it.
- kinkora 15y ago"yes, I’m becoming a VC" he specifically says he that he will BE a VC and not JOINING a VC. I don't get it. Does that mean he will be investing his own money specifically? I never knew mg had that much personal funds to invest in. For those of you who knows about this specifically, can someone enlighten me?
- mrshoe 15y agoA VC invests other people's money. Specifically, a VC is a general partner in the firm and they invest the capital of the limited partners.

- channelmeter 15y agoA VC invests other institution's money, ie CalPERS, Virginia Teacher's Retirement Fund, Vanguard Mutual Fund, etc., who become the Limited Partner. They make money by generating a management fee (generally around 2.5%) and on the returns of investments.
