Brazil: Copy Cats? What Copy Cats?
2006 was a bad year for agriculture in Brazil, and the company had to look around for other customers. The hope is to turn CVD into a platform company that can spin out lots of these ideas, and partner with others to take them to market. I’ll say this about Brazilian startups—they’re certainly not dominated by Web copycats. Perhaps it’s because there aren’t a huge number of Brazilians who’ve made it big in the Valley transmuting the local way of doing things back home or because there’s not a lot of US venture capital flooding into the country.

  • Why VCs Should Take Their Own Advice
    So if a partner gets fired? Well, he or she is still technically a partner in an earlier fund, so firms don’t really have to talk about it if it isn’t in their best interest. Limited partners, the institutions that invest in venture funds, are finally accepting what almost every VC I know has been saying for a decade: There’s too much money in the industry and it’s killing the kind of early stage investing the asset class was founded on. The way venture capital firms are structured makes it almost impossible for outsiders to see what’s really going on inside those 1970s lodge-like Sand Hill Road offices.

  • Graham's Learning Network
    When I was writing a background paper on RSS for a group of university and commercial partners working on the eduSource project, for example, I took my article and posted it on my site. In response to Graham Wegner's request for feedback from his learning network: What I have found over the years is that online writing, including blogging, can't be something special you set aside time to to, but instead, must be something you do as part of your everyday activities. What that means, in practical terms, is that whenever I am reading - and I do the bulk of my reading online - I have a
