My opinion is that we need more big seed funds (lets say ~$50M fund size). We can't rely on Series A funds to do smaller deals. Revolution comes from below. Besides, those Series A funds have probably sold an investment strategy to

The unfortunate reality is that it's not about the firms, it's about whether the individual partner at the firm respects founders' time. For example, I know founders who have had unpleasant experiences with an investor at a1

I had the 50GB free account from an Android promo awhile back and I couldn't find a way to use it. It definitely wasn't going to replace Dropbox. Since it was sitting around doing nothing, I recently started doing monthly WebDAV + rsync b

Agree. T-mobile fell behind largely in part because they couldn't get the iPhone. I'm not sure Google could have addressed this issue any better than the current T-mobile management team. Now that you bring it up, I'm really surprised that
