2014 board ventures 
Both Sides of the Table
JANUARY 6, 2014
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.

Nearly four months ago we rebranded at Upfront Ventures. We felt nothing embodied these attributes more than the name Upfront Ventures. It’s next to impossible to call yourself Upfront Ventures and not be, well, upfront. Hamet is a 3x entrepreneur and also former EIR with True Ventures.

And there’s none that makes me happier than to announce that Jordan Hudson has been promoted to a Principal at Upfront Ventures. What is a principal at a VC firm and how does it work at Upfront Ventures? I think it’s great for some people because it really does give you some solid benefits: board exposure / experience.

Over the past month a colleague ( Chang Xu ) and I sifted through data on the venture capital industry (as we do every year) and made a bunch of calls to VCs and LPs to confirm our hypotheses. As a result of the IPO window shifting we saw a massive inflow of public-market capital into the latest stages of venture.

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.

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. Take the risk.
