I just had a great conversation with Mike Schneider, where we spent some time discussing how we support portfolio companies after investment at Madrona.
Listen in on the conversation: The Law of Startups, Episode 10
For some additional thinking on the topic, one of OpenView's founders recently did a great post on their take on this topic.
Thanks Joe Wallin for setting up the conversation!

The Capacity to Love
Today is a sad day for nerds, geeks, and science fiction fans around the world. Today Leonard Nimoy passed away.
For me, personally, it's a day of revelation, inspired by this heartfelt, parting message from William Shatner to his dear friend:
"I loved him like a brother. We will all miss his humor, his talent, and his capacity to love."
I don't put much thought into legacy or how people will remember me after death, but if I'm remembered at all, even ephemerally, I want it to be for my "capacity to love." The message strikes a chord deep within my bones. One that reverberates with my sense of humanity. It's how I intend to define my living years and if I earn the right for it to be the culmination of my short time here, this will have been a life worth living.
Thank you Leonard Nimoy, for inspiring us. The love you showed the world carries on.

Dear Mr. O'Brien, I found your hair, please advise
Dear Mr. Conan O'Brien,
When I awoke this morning, much to my horror, a strange beast was attacking my head.
Upon consultation with my friends, I later learned that you hair has come into my possession.
As some consider it to be a national treasure, it thought it of critical importance to notify you immediately and to attempt to return it with the utmost priority.
Awaiting your orders,
Hakon Verespej
