Good morning, All,
FIrst, our thanks to Alicia Syrett, Founder and CEO of Pantegrion Capital, who spoke at our Breakfast with An Investor last week and made such amazing points that there were several requests for her to write a book. We're working on it.
Our next Breakfast with an Investor is March 18th and our guest investor is Wiley Cirilli from First Round Capital. And notice that it’s called First Round Capital. Early stage.
Good morning, All,
Our next Breakfast with an Investor is tomorrow, Wednesday, February 18th,and our guest investor is Alicia Syrett, Founder and CEO of Pantegrion Capital, an angel investment firm that focuses on seed and early stage investments, and a member of several angel networks, including Golden Seeds and NY Angels. She’s a very active investor and startup advisor – and she’s currently looking for NYC-based early stage investments. For the record, because we keep the group small, every investor who has spoken at one of our breakfasts so far has made him or herself available to attendees afterwards, meaning private consultation. RSVP here and hope to see you there!
For some time, we’ve been accused of showing an undue/unnecessarily strong focus on the subject of Internet freedom. FCC Commissioner: Obama Taking Unprecedented Direct Control Over Internet Changes: ‘FCC commissioner Ajit Pai said President Barack Obama is about to succeed in his attempt to take “alarmingly unprecedented direct involvement” into the FCC’s plan to regulate the internet, which he explained will mean “billions of dollars in new taxes,” slower broadband speeds and “less competition.”

We’ve noticed lately that New York has been experiencing unprecedented amounts of funding flowing to startups here – as it has to elsewhere, globally – and while it may pale compared to Silicon Valley, we still can’t ignore the fact that the industry has grown beyond being All Silicon Valley, All the Time.

For the record, the first so-called New Economy forged by technology was during the Web 1.0 days, when companies raised money from investors and were suddenly ‘successful’ – on paper. Some had to learn the hard way that building a company meant building a business – one that had earnings, profits. That is a measure of success in any economy, not the OPM – Other People’s Money, aka, investor money.
