i am a VC and proud of it.

but i don’t flip companies. the entrepreneurs i back do that.

talk to the founders of every company that i have backed that has sold and you’ll hear that i am supportive of their choices, even when the economics of those decisions aren’t necessarily in my best interests.

and i am on the boards of four companies right now that have been in business since the mid 90s.

i am a patient investor but i don’t always back patient entrepreneurs.

and that’s OK with me.
