I've gone ahead and joined Feedburner's VC Network after accepting an invitation from Brad Feld, the network moderator. I've read Brad's blog, Feld Thoughts, for quite some time now. One of the best things about his blog is his Term Sheet Series, where he and his crony Jason Mendelson discuss the key terms in a financing term sheet. I highly recommend it.
In signing up, I did notice that there are quite a few VC bloggers. Brad has referred to their "replication like tribbles". I am impressed by the proliferation of the VC blogger. I think I will start referring to us as the "VC Bloggies" because I sense our number will continue to grow. One thing I did notice is that Brad and Jason have started another blog called Ask The VC, that addresses questions from readers. Some of these questions are very similar to ones I have been receiving and have addressed in my VC Primer posts. I think it's a great site and look forward to seeing their responses.
One thing that is clear from the VC network and the proliferation of the VC Bloggies is that every VC comes in different shapes and sizes. If you read these blogs you will see that everybody has a permutation of their venture capital method and strategy. I think it is another great resource for the entrepreneur who is trying to get in the head of a VC. Collectively, these VCs control a lot of investing dollars and knowing what they are thinking will get you ahead of the curve.
Anyways, thanks for taking the time to aggregate us and form this network Brad.
