Thinking About Thinking

After publishing the Global VC Blog Directory, I thought it’d be appropriate to publish the first of what I hope will be a bi-weekly round-up of the best blog posts from the VCs in the directory (in my personal opinion).  I’m not totally sure yet whether there’s enough good content to do a summary like this every couple of weeks, but if there is that will be the frequency.  So, here it goes (in no particular order):

• Apple Has Made No More Than $20M-$45M In Revenue From the App Store – Jeremy Liew, Lightspeed
• What Rehab Is Teaching Me About Making Bad Investments – Jeff Bussgang, Flybridge
• Clouds With Silver Linings – Adam Fischer, Bessemer
• What’s Broken – Venture Capital or Venture Perceptions? – Peter Rip, Crosslink Capital
• My 4 Year Old Exposes A Design Flaw In Children’s Underwear – Michael Eisenberg, Benchmark
• The Art of Selling Your Firm – Matt McCall, DFJ Portage
• Video – Max Niederhofer, Atlas Venture

By the way, after pulling together the directory, here are the firms with the most bloggers:

• Bessemer Venture Partners (6)
• First Round Capital (5)
• Spark Capital (4)
• Foundry Group (4)
• Flybridge Capital Partners (3)
• Ignition Partners (3)

Interesting to see broader firm-wide commitment to blogging.  At some point I may have to chat with some folks at those firms to see how blogging has impacted their firm.
