What It's All About

I realize this is a very crowded space. There is no shortage of bloggers, opinions and viewpoints on venture capital, startups and entrepreneurship. It’s a very vocal and chatty community. But having been a start up lawyer for more than a decade – both inside and outside of startup companies – I’m hoping some of you might be interested in my experience and perspective. If I’m successful, you will find something interesting. If I'm really successful, you might even find some practical advice on legal and other issues related to the formation, operation and growth of start up companies. Yes, I work at a law firm at my day job. And yes, it isn’t in the nature of lawyers to offer free advice. But this blog is truly a hobby of mine and no one is paying me to do this. Perhaps it's the former journalist in me (emphasis on former). Perhaps I'm inspired by the advice of Atul Gawande, the author of "Better: A Surgeon's Notes on Performance", who encourages everyone to Write something to become a positive deviant. I welcome your suggestions on topics to cover and how I can make this blog better.
