Both Sides of the Table

MAY 9, 2011

Here is a quick summary of my POV: When you start a company a 50/50 partnership seems obvious. People just don’t talk about it publicly or in blogs. So emotional is the topic that people often want to debate me based on the title before they’ve even heard my point of view. I am one of them.

It’s my POV we learn much more together by sharing honestly and broadly as a community, even if the “why we invested” blog post from a few years ago sounds dumb in hindsight.

My goal here is to move the debate forward, add my POV but not inflame things any further. No rule is ever absolute no matter how it sounds when one writes a blog. Here we go again.
