DEMO 09 – Interview With Christine Herron, First Round Capital

March 2, 2009 / / 1 Comment

Graeme Thickins of Tech~Surf~Blog interviews Christine Herron, principal, First Round Capital, at the DEMO ’09 conference, which was held March 1-3, 2009, in Palm Desert, CA.

Christine Herron has been active in the VC industry for several years, and is now with the very well respected and active seed-stage firm First Round Capital. I chatted with her on the Pavilion showfloor here at DEMO, just as the lunch hour was approaching. We talked about her take on early-stage investing, some of her firm’s recent investments, and the panel she was about to participate in at DEMO this afternoon.

Feeding Frenzy’s Started on FriendFeed

Or so declares Fred Wilson. And I see Josh Kopelman’s on it, too. (Wonder which guy funded it, or both?) Friendfeedlogo_4
A buddy of mine gave me the heads-up in a comment a couple hours ago, to my previous post (see below), saying this could be the next big thing at SXSW. 

What is it about this time of year?  The Web 2.0 crowd just needs something new to get ’em talking?  Okay, I’m tryin’ it — gotta see what this is about.  Only took me a minute or two to set up my FriendFeed account. Looks kinda like a Twitter that ate its Wheaties…  🙂

Except, this year, aren’t they jumping the gun a bit?  ETech and GSP come first, next week, ahead of SXSW.  Anyone know how far in advance of SXSW it was last year when Twitter went live?  Should be fun to see how long this one will take to break… 🙂

UPDATE (1:30 pm CST): Well, we now have the skinny on who’s behind this one — my friend Brian Solis just posted.
