Great Interview – Seth Levine on Stocktwits TV

My partner Seth has a great interview on Stocktwits TV, hosted by one of the smartest and funniest entrepreneurs that I know, Howard Lindzon.  The topic is whether or not the Web is Dead.  (It’s not).  Also, he will give you his stock picks, as well.  This I can’t wait to see if he is correct.  :)  

Our Investment in Sifteo

Today, we announced our investment in Sifteo.  It was also picked up in PEHub

I’m really excited to be a part of the team.  Founded by David Merrill and Jeevan Kalanithi, out of the MIT Media Lab, we believe that Sifteo is developing the next popular generation gaming platform that will go beyond the early successes of the Nintendo Wii and Apple iPad/Pod/Touch. 

I addition, it’s another investment that we’ve made with the fine folks over at True Ventures, so that only adds to the happy factor. 

Check our their TED talk for a great demo of what they are working on.  And if you ever happen to meet Dave, let him know that you really like his shirt that he wore that day. 

What I Learned at CES

I posted a blog today on the Foundry Group site about our trip to CES.  Among the topics discussed are why you shouldn’t buy a TV for the next 6 months and why Nobu is simply my favorite sushi place that I can dream of.

Also, for some reason, it’s harder every year for me to go to Vegas.  I must be getting old. 

There is no "I" in Foundry

For those of you not familiar with the Foundry Group, we collectively author a blog about our investment themes, our portfolio companies and what we think differentiates us from other venture capitalists.

Today’s post on the Foundry Group blog is titled "There is no "I" in Foundry," which describes our team approach to running Foundry and contrasts that with the more typical venture firm.  We have a philosophy at Foundry that we are stronger and more successful investors as a group rather than as individuals.

I hope that you enjoy the post and keep reading our blog.
