Joining Industry Ventures as advisor
As if I didn't have enough to do, I am going to help a friend over at Industry Ventures source and review deals in the secondary venture capital market. I have been an investor at Industry Ventures since 1998 in their first incarnation as an early stage venture fund. The current focus is providing liquidity for limited partners in venture portfolios. Hans Swildens has been a good friend and a great guy to go surfing with down in San Francisco. They had a home run with their investment in Spedera (recently acquired by Akamai) and have been able to buy venture portfolios at a significant discount over the last couple of years. I believe the strategy still has legs as many corporates continue to change their venture strategy. I will help them evaluate portfolios and individual companies in those portfolios for current and future value.
