Hey Paige - If I negotiate a potential financing with Arena, and it doesn't work out, will you take all of my emails and publish them as well?

  If your emails had anything hurtful, embarrassing, proprietary or damaging to yourself or your company I wouldn't publish them. In this case these emails and documents make ME look like a novice investor and speak highly of the Airbnb founders. I have no problem exposing my own failures and mistakes but I'd never expose yours unless you were cool with it. This event was a very important lesson for me and made me a better investor. Most people commenting here are thinking short-term; but the consequence of this Airbnb deal was critical to my development. I learned to move fast and invested a great deal of time and energy into becoming a better investor.

    I think it's actually makes you look secure in your self, maybe even a bit gutsy. I'm not sure what the right word would be here, but it I like it. Someday, I hope to join the ranks of VCs but I figure I need to figure things out first.

    Did you ask Brian et al for permission to post emails? Is that something that is required or just a courtesy (regardless if they are harmful etc)
