Brad Feld had one of the most insightful and helpful blogs, particularly before the golden era of tech/vc twitter and there wasn't much out there for folks not in the club. hope this gives him more time to post more.

He seems like a genuinely solid dude. I also got lots out of his older blogging and the book Startup Communities, and was surprised by his high email availability for random questions.

Didn't know him before. Googled his blog in case people are looking https://feld.com/blog/

He made time to speak to the boulder Ruby meetup a few years ago too.

And I've had good interactions with Seth Levine, who is quoted in the article a few times, as well.

Great books too.

Also +1 for awesome shirt choice

I’m missing the context unless you’re thinking of Chris Sacca

this is announcing the closing of the deal (late last month)

a lifetime ago back at Microsoft, Peter Spiro described these folks job expectation as "walk on water". if you wanted to exceed expectations, you had to "leave no wake"...

note that they already supported this migration capability to AWS and Azure.

is there a reason why a large % of the board turned over in the past ~year, leading in to an IPO?

> Ms. Ford English was appointed to our board of directors in May 2020 and stepped down from our board of directors in May 2021.

> Mr. Hinrichs stepped down from our board of directors in May 2020.

> Mr. Jameel stepped down from our board of directors in July 2021.

> Mr. Kaul stepped down from our board of directors in July 2021.

> Mr. Sheriff stepped down from our board of directors in May 2021.

Those in 2021 stepped down because they aren’t independent board members as needed for the IPO. In May 2020, Ford English replaced Hinrich as Ford’s representative on the board because Hinrich left Ford.

You might check the actual article first, not just a database entry.

It looks like the article is written in Chinese.

agreed - I think the title should be updated to call out the "app" shuts down.

presales, consulting, and support.

Yes - for the software they (disclaimer: we) build. We don't provide healthcare. The comparison with Disney seems misleading.

will be interesting to see what they do that goes beyond the acquisition of semmle. it is great to see how quickly they have been able to integrate that work.
