What new liabilities are emerging? Answering these difficult questions results in great rewards. However, with only search and unstructured text mining tools, people have limited success in capturing those rewards. Michael Webb, Aubice Co-Founder, Executive Vice President of Global Development was interviewed by Jim Franklin, President of the Rockies Venture Club and the former CEO of Decisioneering and now a VP with Oracle. Michael is also on the "Winning Team" panel at the 20th Annual Colorado Capital Conference, being moderated by Larry. Michael pointed out that all about relationships. They with the right people with the right values to basically grow Aubice. He points out that when it comes to search there is this deluge of information...too data, very little relevancy. Another challenge is Understanding how to connect unstructured data to drive totally unexpected high value insights leading to breakthrough discoveries. "Aubice is a connection engine and can operate on the long tail of information where n=1 for advanced sensing of change and trend foreshadowing. Michael has built successful teams over the years, and that's what it is all about.Related Links: Aubice || 20th Annual Colorado Capital Conference || Crystal Ball || Rockies Venture Club || BYTES: 20583970 - 5/12/08 > Keywords: Michael Webb, Aubice, Jim Franklin, Decisioneering, Oracle, Rockies Venture Club, Colorado Capital Conference, Teams |
482_ Money, Music and More: Bringing Balance - Your Soul Patch (Part 1 Below) 481_ Intellectual Property Can Save You or It Can Get Ugly |
Part one of the interview with Jason Mendelson and Ryan McIntyre, both Managing Directors with the Foundry Group was focused on intellectual property and the current 'copyright paradigm'. IP isuues are hot topics with their portfolio companies. Both men are dedicated to the success of the companies they work with. Larry had to ask, "How do you bring balance to your business and personal lives?" Jason's been playing the drums since he was 3, a percussionist, and actually supported himself playing music with big names like Aretha Franklin. Jason and Ryan met at Mobius in California. Ryan had built a recording studio in his home – 600 sq. ft of recording space, and had a band. Jason showed up one day, "..the idea was that I would be a consultant to the band." Things took off from there. Ryan said, "In general our lives are hectic with a thousand calls in the air, generally multi tasking, always thinking about the past, present and future, and the great thing about music... it’s then. When I’m playing music there’s no room in my head for anything other than the moment. That’s a liberating thing and it is great for bringing balance." BTW, the music at the beginning and end of this interview is a small part of the second album produced by Jason's and Ryan's band 'Soul Patch'. Enjoy!

469_ Brad Feld, The Foundry Group - Why am I Passing? "Over the years - I've come up with a set of filters to quickly turn  down deals. This is an important process as I want to limit the time I spent investigating companies that I don't investment in. Rather - I want to maximize my time working with my existing portfolio companies and quickly / deeply evaluating new companies that have a high chance of us funding them. Every day I tell at least one entrepreneur that I am passing on investment in their company. Sometimes I tell 10. I don't know what the most in one day is, but it's probably more than 25. I try to respond to all emails so a lot of these are in the 'never were appropriate to pursue' category, but at least one each day is someone that I've actually engaged with beyond a cold email that was randomly sent to me. My first pass filter has three parts to it. The top level filter is 'Is this in a theme that I'm currently interested in?' If yes, then I try to determine whether or not I think the people involved can create a huge company. If yes, then I often at least spend some time going deeper." Larry asks Brad to expand on this and more. Brad also explains what it takes to stay on the positive road to funding. Listen in his own words.Related Links: Brad Feld Blog || Why Am I Passig? || Lijit Search || Foundry Group || Venture Capital || Keywords: Brad Feld, Entrepreneur, Venture Capital, Funding, Portfolio Companies, Investing Bytes: 21760107 - 4/7/08 |
 470_ RVC Capital Conference - Lessons from the Start !!!Are you looking for investors? Sharpen the old proverbial pencil; Check in with RVC and do it now! Times-a-wasting! The application process is amazing. Take a 'benchmark survey' and you'll get an executive report that is a 'gap analysis' for entrepreneurs, says Kevin Johansen, one of the folks putting this thing together. He reminded us, "last November at the RVC Angel Capital Summit, they had 40 'deal screeners' working in four US time zones and Europe." Kevin encourages every entrepreneur listening to apply simply because of the learning that comes with it. And the 'deal screeners' - it's a web based, collaborative environment. They're all over the map, their primary focus is financial and most are conduits to capital, or have capital. The progarm appears to be phenomenal. Larry Nelson will be moderating a panel on building an effective team for an entrepreneurial organization. With 3 VC's on that panel you'll definitely get a feel for what you need. And Kevin plans to 'rock the house' with a Marketing 2.0 conversation. It'll be fun, informative and you'll get to learn a little 'VC speak'.Related Links: Capital Conference || Rockie Venture Club || The Business Catapult || Venture Capital || Keywords: Rockies Venture Club, Colorado Capital Conference, The Business Catapult, Kevin Johansen, Gap Analysis, Deal Screeners, capital >> Bytes: 19937805 - 4/9/08 |
443_ Venture Capital, Angel Investors and Getting Involved  The Rockies Venture Club annual meeting has been the place to connect with others creating Colorado success stories. For nearly twenty years, through many market cycles, the CCC has been a great place to connect with others starting and growing Colorado-based technology businesses. Jim Franklin started with RVC in 1992 with no contacts and is now the President of RVC and has a robust Colorado technology network. Hear Jim Franklin tell his story of how the contacts he made at RVC -- and the CCC in particular -- have resulted in 100x return to shareholders, 100+ jobs in Colorado and an economic impact of over $100M to the state of Colorado. Jim feels the key is to get involved. When I first showed up and didn’t know anyone, I just raised my hand and said, ‘how can I help?’. I started off on the government affairs committee where I met Eric Weissmann, who is the founder of Decisioneering. About two years later, I became the CFO of Decisioneering and that was the company that I ultimately became CEO of and we sold to Oracle with a very successful exit. RVC has the Colorado Capital Conference coming up on May 22, 2008 – a true showcase event. Jim shares some great networking advice... 2/18/08 LISTEN

Brad also talked about the successes and challenges of TechStars. We reflected on the 2003 investor perspective where words like "cautiously optimistic" were commonly voiced, and Brad joked about that oxymoron. That's not him, he says he prefers, "encouragingly pessimistic". Brad is managing partner of the Foundry Group which has opened a new office in the middle of Boulder. Brad had Larry sit next to a 1980s Donkey Kong game. There is a bunch of valuable information packed in with the humor..

Keynote speaker at the SBIR regional conference in Denver, Terry Bibbens, Managing Director of Homeland Venture Partners, laid out the facts facing ‘small businesses’ this coming year. Small businesses created over 92% of the net new jobs in the US based on data collected starting in 1989.

The developments of small businesses along with SBIR grant funding have a tremendous impact on ‘Economic Development’ in Colorado. Then enters the federal congressional leaders: Most don’t even have a clue about SBIR grants for small businesses and as a result could likely be dropping the SBIR program. We need to let them know so they do the right thing. |
