• A Summer At Softbank Capital

  I’m pretty thrilled about a change to my normal summer this year. Starting this Monday, I’ll be spending the next eight weeks between New York City and Boston working with Softbank Capital. I’ll be spending most of my time working with Nikhil Kalghatgi and @Joevc identifying investment opportunities that fit the fund’s thesis. I’ll also have an opportunity…

• The Media Generation (M2) Means CPMs will Change

• The “Death” of Publishing

  I do not believe that all brands need to create deep content and media to be relevant in social media.
