We are delighted to announce our most recent investment in Altius Education.
My partner led our investment in the company. VentureBeat has the full story here.
We believe there are many innovative ideas in the education area. We now have two portfolio companies (8D World & Altius) trying to make a positive change in learning. They are doing it in very different ways and for very different markets.
I am hopeful that you will see us make more investments in the the future of education.
It’s important and it’s a big opportunity.
A super talented entrepreneur going at a really big market. Just how we like it.

Posting two today because yesterday got away from me. Another one from Gossip Girl, but sharing the De La Soul version…because how could I not!

Spoon, The Underdog
Saw I Love You, Man yesterday. Great movie, great music.
Faith No More, Easy (Lionel Richie cover)
Faith No More is back on tour. They just played a show with MGMT & Dinosaur Jr. in Tel Aviv on Tuesday that I would have given my right arm to be at. This is one of my favorite covers of all time. Reblog it liberally for full enjoyment.

And because I was a slacker yesterday, here’s another one for you all. One of my best friends got married this weekend and shared a little Otis with all of us for their first dance. A strong move indeed.
