The first day of 2012 seems the perfect day to do so. I don’t try to optimize for who might be a great investment opportunity or somebody that I really “should know.” So in 2012 you’ll see me a lot more often at the Launchpad LA offices. Happy 2012 to all of you. And on the road out meeting you.

Looking ahead at the next decade I am excited by what I believe will be viewed as one of the best and most rational investment periods for venture capital due to seven discrete factors: 1.

When I work with community leaders I often encourage them to “pool capital” together from many angels into a fund structure run by a small investment committee that can make more rapid funding decisions, take more risks (it is pooled capital so goes across more investments), and standardize investment terms.
