At the risk of sounding jealous, I can't quite see how MG could be that helpful to startup tech companies. I would think partners at funds like Google Ventures should have experience building things (e.g. Kevin Rose), or at least being part of a management team that facilitates the building of things.
That said, I enjoy(ed) MG's Apple coverage at TechCrunch, and wish him the best at GV. I just hope he stays long enough to make a meaningful impact on the companies he's writing checks to.
- OGinparadise 13y agoMaybe he's there to hype the crap out of the companies they invest in? Hyping and writing is all he does.

- kin3tic 13y agoAnd shit talking Android and reluctantly admitting in each review that it's basically perfect but then stilling digging at it and boasting about how iOS can cure cancer.
- OGinparadise 13y agoI expect he will learn "to love" Android, like another recent Google employee did http://www.entrepreneur.com/article/226164 http://www.entrepreneur.com/article/226164
- awkward 13y agoRemember when he unabashedly ran positive press for Path while they were getting reamed for rummaging through people's contact data without asking? And didn't announce that he had significantly invested in them? Maybe he could do that for other people.
