FRC Office Hours in Vancouver
January 7, 2009
I see that W Media Ventures is welcoming First Round Capital up to Vancouver for a coffee talk session (also known as FRC Office Hours). It sounds like an intersting concept. Basically it sounds like a entrepreneurial BS session in a somewhat structured format. Cool… count me in. Sounds like fun
I have avoided the venture/fundraising scene this pass through the entrepreneurial scene… mostly because for most ventures, I think bootstrapping to launch is a good way to go. And once you launch, you should be able to run and automate the business on cash flow (or micro capital outlay anyhow). However, there are a couple of ideas that I am brainstorming that would take longer to incubate and a bit more cash up front (less than $100k). First Round has also invested in Ofer Ronen over at Sendori who I spoke with on several occasions back in the domain world, and some of my ideas are quite synergistic… hmmm.
EDIT – I just checked my calendar for the same day [on my new BlackBerry Bold, I might add] and I see that the Vancouver Entrepreneurs Meetup occurs immediately following the Office Hours event. How appropriate.
