Blogging Conference Screening 
Both Sides of the Table
JUNE 29, 2014
Fred Wilson wrote a Tweetstorm and then did a blog post on the topic. I never asked Marc why he stopped blogging but I presume it is some combo of having started a venture capital firm (which you might guess takes a bit of time) and also allowing some air time for his then-less-well-known compadre. To get on his radar screen.

I wanted to also post the series here to have it as a resource on my blog for future entrepreneurs who stop by. As an entrepreneur people who aren’t going to respond to you and it’s your responsibility to politely and assertively stay on people’s radar screen. If you haven’t spent time over there you should.

One of the advantages of blogging, using social media, public speaking, etc as a VC is that you get a more nuanced view of these shifts by watching your own successes and failures. Journalists don’t often write stories that talk about, “This cool new company I met at a conference.” ” Why? Funding is news.

You’re writing a freaking blog post! Plus, he’s a loyal reader of this blog. I run a conference – could you speak? I know many people think I blog all day long. Or ask Tasha to send you a screen shot of my weekly calendar. “But WAIT !!! ” I never said that. I DO have time for email.

It’s why I always work hard to find images for my blog posts & why all of my keynote presentations are visual rather than bullet points with words. When I write a blog post I often see the words before I write them. I have a process I use for blog posts, too. I look carefully at who is speaking before me.

I’m not saying that lawyers were my screening process – simply that they knew about deals early on and they had voted with their time and pocketbooks so I knew I had a degree of filtering. I eventually stumbled on to the best source of high-quality deal flow imaginable – blogging. I attended events. I hustled.
