Tony — You Forgot to Mention…

Peter Barris of NEA and Harry Weller of NEA. They rock. They build great value.

You forgot to mention Steve Case and his team at Revolution. Who is hotter right now? Revolution Money, Exclusive Resorts, Living Social, Clearspring, Zipcar…and on and on.

You forgot to mention Phil Bronner at Novak Biddle. He supports the region so well. He picks early and often and well.

You didn’t mention me — Revolution Money, Groupon, Clearspring, SnagFilms, Mahalo, SBNation… and on and on.

Or Miles Gilburne, or Nigel Morris — best local angel investors out there with a great portfolio.

This is a good list but an incomplete list. There are a lot of great investors out there.

E-pals and Microsoft Do a Deal

E-pals which is founded by my good friend Miles Gilburne, did a big strategic deal with Microsoft. Great news indeed. Check it out here.

E-pals is another example of a double bottom line business.

Miles and I are great friends. We both worked together at AOL. Miles and his wife Nina started this business and lead it today. Many close friends such as Steve Case and his wife Jean also invested in the business. I have also made a small investment in the business along with my wife.

And Miles is also an investor in Snagfilms. And Snagfilms and E-pals do business together.

And Miles and Steve and I have invested and are involved in Clearspring Technologies, too. Steve Case is also an investor in Snagfilms, along with his wife, Jean.

And all three of us are involved in and investors in Venture Philanthropy Partners.Synergy. Keretsui. Deep friendships. Deep belief in double bottom line businesses. Go Miles Go! Read more about E-pals here.
