BA Venture Partners - News: BAVP News

BA Venture Partners - News: BAVP News: "Venture capitalists also sometimes accept lower ownership stakes, as many mature firms have a passel of existing investors. That means lower profits for the new investors when a company finally goes public or is sold. Plus, many investors simply 'don't want to fix the mistakes of their competitors,' says Crosslink's Mr. Stark.

But the likelihood of at least a passable return on a late-stage company looks attractive to many down-on-their-luck venture investors these days.

'Over the last five years, we haven't made a whole lot of capital gains for our customers,' says BA's Mr. O'Driscoll. 'So no one's going to sit there and get all virginal and say, 'I don't want to go late [stage] -- I don't want to make money.''"

Looking For The Right Person

We recently posted the news that our analyst Charlie O'Donnell is leaving us to join one of our portfolio companies. We are now actively looking for someone to fill his position.

We noticed while working with del.icio.us that their best hires were part of the extended del.icio.us community long before anyone in the company met them. The del.icio.us team first became aware of these people through their work on the web. Several had created useful del.icio.us extensions that demonstrated their understanding of the service and its potential. So when faced with challenge of filling Charlie's shoes, we thought we would reach out to see if there was someone out there who is already part of the Union Square Ventures community because they follow this blog, but who might now want to become an active member of our team.

The analyst position at Union Square Ventures is a two year rotational "

humorous?? tweak on GoogleBase

What do Grazr and BBL add to the technology google has underlying googlebase and googleprint?

I envision a google search server powered with the technology that is the basis for such BETA projects used to build the GFVN -
of a demo which is structured database filled out with the content components of GFVN -

Imagine having your very own dedicated google search engine
hardware with to manage the population of data/information/blogposts that will be the content of GFVN

Wouldn't ConversationBase work best on a dedicated google server(s) fitted out with the value network content?

Dr. Larry Dossey's Official Website

Dr. Larry Dossey's Official Website: "What applications, beyond medical practice, can Era III thinking have, in our culture at large and in our private lives?

The foundation of Era III is nonlocal mind -- mind that is infinite, eternal, immortal. As nonlocal mind becomes a living reality for more people, we could become a kinder, gentler culture. Nonlocal mind leads to what I call the Golden Rule of Era III: 'Do good unto others because they are you!' Why? Because, as I said earlier, nonlocal mind is unlimited and boundless, which means that minds can't be walled off from each other. In some sense, at some level, we are each other.

Taking nonlocal mind seriously can, as I describe in Reinventing Medicine, widen the dimensions of the consciousness. We can tap into sources of wisdom beyond ourselves and beyond the present. Creative breakthroughs and prophetic knowing become ordinary in the context of nonlocal mind. Empathy and compassion flower as a result of our felt linkage with one another. And the awareness of immortality, as I've described, takes the pressure off living and dying. This will not happen automatically, however. We have to do our share and set our biases and prejudices aside. These are urgent matters. As Andre Malraux said, 'The twenty-first century will be spiritual or it will not be at all.' "
