Hornik on Blippy: "Apparently I Was More Interested in Sharing Credit Card Purchases than the Average Person" (TCTV)
Let's be honest: One of the reasons David Hornik actually agreed to be on camera at All Things D is that he didn't have a startup about to file to go public any second. So we talked about some of his more high profile investments that haven't always lived up to the hype.Hornik explains why reports of Blippy's death have been greatly exaggerated, and why he says the investment still wasn't a mistake. What's more he dishes (sort of) of the nine-figure annual revenues of another portfolio company Say Media-- the love child of VideoEgg and SixApart. And he tells us about an enterprise software company that's a budding sleeper hit.More broadly, he argues the immediate-hit-or-it's-a-failure misses the point of venture investing. (A philosophy Reid Hoffman might agree with after a decade-long slog at LinkedIn.)Original Link: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/mo9d7kISoLU/
