3510107184_b1f6598fc9_b Remember the sci-fi thriller GATTACA? For those who never saw the film and/or eschewed all pop culture in the late 90’s for some reason, it was a popular movie that came out in 1997 about genetically modified human beings.

The Open VC

Sep 27, 9:00PM

open-vc Ten years ago I became a venture capitalist, first with Village Ventures and now at Greycroft Partners. I spent the previous ten years as an entrepreneur. So, equal time on both sides of the table. My chief observation from the past twenty years is that venture capital firms understand much more about the start up’s they invest in than the start up’s understand about the venture… Read More

Don't Dismiss Developers

The Internet's Missing Link

Sep 27, 2:00PM

shutterstock_64728631 When the web was originally designed, its creators aspired to include a way to transfer value.
