I’ve written a few posts about boards recently as part of a series on the subject. I admit that I haven’t yet read it but I’ve had numerous discussions with Brad over the years about board structure & conduct and consider him a mentor on the topic. Offering a sparring-partner function on strategic decisions.

Associates often shadow partners at board meetings so that they can help follow up with the company on important initiatives between board meetings. I think it’s great for some people because it really does give you some solid benefits: board exposure / experience. Helping be the VC “presence” at key events.

One area I’ve had much discussion with the companies in which I’ve invested in is bringing on board an operationally focused CFO. I think Ophir would agree that the business was transformed after we brought on board Phil Schraeder at the CFO (and later promoted to COO). And board confidence matters in growing companies.

With seed up massively between 2006–2014 and A and B rounds relatively flat what you see is a widening of the funnel going into traditional venture. So What Impact Did the Drop in Tech Founding Costs Have on VC?

Sadly, in 2014, when I relapsed for the second time since my initial surgery, the board of directors made the decision to terminate my tenure at ESTREC. Since its inception in 2014, ROAR has morphed into a wildlife rescue and rehabilitation organization, together with sanctuary services for nonreleasable animals.

Thank you to Tasha for helping to keep me sane by managing the onslaught of meeting requests, board meetings and constant change. You’ve had a few difficult years outside of work – I feel confident 2014 is going to be a great one! I know your 2013 success will lead to more sustained travel in 2014.
This is going to be BIG.

So, the extent to which any one fund will call out the other funds on the cap table that sat quietly on the sidelines for three years after Sarah Lacy called the company out in 2014 is going to be somewhat limited. How many LPs are asking the top tier funds what they’re doing to enforce and oversee values and culture from a board perspective?
