Fun and work and slutty VCs
I like this, via Hillary Johnson, on the work and leisure mash-up:
“People who have learned to answer email on Sunday evenings also need to learn how to go to the movies on Monday afternoons. By redesigning the architecture of time, we can make room for work, leisure, and idleness.”
–Ricardo Sempler, president, Semco
And in this post on the economics of polygamy, Hillary takes the point to venture capital:
It seems that despite the PowerPoint mating ritual and all the subsequent due diligence striptease, the point is still to broadcast seed to lots of sexy little startups, hoping to knock a percentage of them up. VCs invest in companies you couldn’t take home to your mother all the time, and we both know it.
The post’s subtitle: Is that a PowerPoint in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?
