The fact is, it''s just not cool to criticize the investing side of the venture capital market. That doesn''t mean I have anything against the founder or the investors.

It just seemed like a fitting title for a company built around narrative by a founder who used to write stories for a living. It's a story that just hit a milestone--a $4mm round of venture funding that I'm ecstatic to say Brooklyn Bridge Ventures just led. Creativity is at the heart of everything they do.
