It's a very different thing to be an angel investor and a venture investor. Different opportunities, responsibilities, etc. If I were a venture investor, I'd be competing against all Sand Hill, because it's pretty much an either/or proposition: if you're in, someone else is out. Whereas, angels happily deal with an investor pile-on; the more the merrier.
- staunch 14y agoThat's a really good point. Still, bet that team would work out well.
- joshu 14y agoI've been very tempted to raise a fund several times. I worry that I would find being a VC painful. It seems to involve saying "no" to a lot of people, and that's not what I like doing.
- staunch 14y agoSpeaking of "no", can I talk to you for a few min sometime about where we're doing with Get.com? We're talking to people right now, and damn if you're not on our top 5 wishlist. No worries if not, still hope you become a VC :-)
- joshu 14y agoDrop a line. Not really my space but happy to take a look. (Did you pivot? I recall get was similar to Jig.)
- staunch 14y agoGreat. No, not a pivot, just the second stage in our plans (which we were a bit coy about). No email in your profile, but dropped a line to <first name> @ <your domain>.org. Hope that works. Thanks.
