		<title>B-L-O-G Your Way to Transparency with DisclosurePolicy.org</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of my portfolio companies, PayPerPost, launched DisclosurePolicy.org today and I just posted the following at blog.DisclosurePolicy.org. The topic of transparency is much larger than PayPerPost, but I&#8217;m glad they took the initiative to create long-term solutions instead of band-aids that could hamper CGM long-term. The site offers a Disclosure Policy generator, transparency best practices, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Blogs = News, So Sayeth Google</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We shall see if Google&#8217;s new Blog Alerts service lives up to the needs of the blogosphere. I&#8217;ve been using Google News/Search Alerts for some time now and have only a few complaints (like the lack of integration with other Google services). The whole alert construct feels like a re-hash of late &#8217;90s function from [...]]]></description>

		<title>PayPerPost Blue Monster</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Given that Ted spilled the beans about my secret PayPerPostBlueMonster puzzle piece, I guess it&#8217;s time to share. For those of you not already following this puzzle, here&#8217;s the deal: As if announcing funding from Inflexion and friends wasn&#8217;t enough, PPP has more good news to share and are doing it in their usual fun, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Traditional(?) VC Model: Broken or Forgotten</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Stowe Boyd had some insightful thoughts on Miguel Helft&#8217;s New York Times article A Kink in Venture Capital&#8217;s Gold Chain. That article, at a high level, questioned whether the traditional venture capital model is broken because of excess capital and tight exits. Stowe and Fred Wilson both noted that the model isn&#8217;t broken, it just [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Tribute to Entrepreneurs: The Riskmaster</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My first significant exposure to Tim Draper was when he boldly stated he was looking for &#8220;risk seeking missiles&#8221; at a Kansas City Kauffman Fellows event I attended. Since that time I&#8217;ve been lucky enough to build a couple funds together, exit a couple investments together and recently co-invest together into PayPerPost. Tim is passionate, [...]]]></description>

		<title>PayPerPost Revolution Accelerates with Funding (oh, and a chance to win $1000!)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve blogged about Orlando-based PayPerPost a few times here already &#8212; sharing my observations along the way of diligencing the company for investment. Well, all that diligence led up to today&#8217;s TechCrunch leak that Inflexion led a $3M Series A funding including Village Ventures and Draper Fisher Jurvetson. I&#8217;d like to thank Michael Barach of [...]]]></description>
