A New Beginning
After a lot of agonizing, I’ve made the very difficult decision to leave the venture capital firm Accel. So where am I going next? The short answer: nowhere. The longer answer: I've been talking to different people about different ideas and I haven’t locked into any one thing yet. Some ideas sit squarely in the communications/marketing realm and some go beyond it. I’m going to take some time and more fully explore these opportunities.
Leaving behind a great gig at an elite firm for something so fuzzy takes me way outside my comfort zone. But I guess that’s the point. If you’ve had the misfortune of talking to me for too long, I probably babbled about how, at some point, you need to stop picking fruit and start planting some trees. Or more simply, keep striving to create some value.
That’s what I hope to do in this next chapter. We’ll see how it goes. See you out in the wild!
