He’s been at it since 2005. We We were trading emails on a recent rant posted on The Funded about founders’ equity and here is what my friend wrote to me in our exchange (printed anonymously with his permission):
Actually FWIW I think at least in cases of folks like me (and this seems also to be part of what Founders’ Fund tries to do), many of the challenges of working with my VCs would be eliminated if the investors would support partially liquidity for founders after X years. This is part of my ongoing series “ Start Up Advice ” but I’d really like to call this post, “VC Advice.”

Mark Suster: First of all, the good news, is GRP has a $200 million fund, which we've only done three investments on. We are not looking to fund people in 2009, who are learning a new market, on our nickel. We often hear from entrepreneurs who say--I'll hire a great team, as soon as I get funded.

I had previously raised VC in 1999, 2000, 2001 and 2005. I had intended to talk about how bad the process could become, not to name-and-shame anybody (and The Funded was not yet around).

There are now signs the VC market has gathered pace meaning it’s a great time to be fund raising. This Sentiment is strong in personal portfolios and up commensurately with VC’s expectations that their last fund will now be worth something (and along with that increase the partners’ personal wealth). For But you can’t keep your pocketbook on the sidelines forever and still expect LPs (limited partners or the people who invest their money in VC funds) to pay In my previous post, The VC Ice Age is Thawing (for now) I wrote about the reasons why the VC market came to a screeching halt in September 2008 and remained largely shut until at least April 2009.
