AND
socialism without merit is a lie too, a hollow lie. So do not even try to juxtapose capitalism and socialism here, not the point. Neither is the "rich" man's black-or-white argument that the mere thought of criticizing capitalism defaults into sudden socialism.

saw an article a few days ago from an enthusiastic young General Partner (GP) declaring that "Venture is Back" and it reminded me how frighteningly naive some people in the venture business are.

EVEN
though Venture Capital has produced no more than 10% IRR for the last 10 years and has lost the confidence of the public markets (lack of IPOs) and public companies (lack of M&A, except for a few "garage" sales), many entrepreneurs keep chasing the mighty dollar from VCs who will not let entrepreneurs challenge their merit, at all or ever.

A
score of years ago, personal branding was an unknown, unheard of concept. When you did an interview - it was about your company, new developments, a large order or a merger. In those days, one rarely could name the CEO of a company - you stood a chance that people might know your name if you had been in the driving seat for over 20 years but it certainly wasn't common for anyone to really know anything about your personal life or likes and dislikes.

EDUCATION
is a topic close to my heart. I started working at a young age myself but realised quickly that without a proper education, it is hard to manage in today's society. I proceeded to take further education and a broad variety of evening studies, all in my own time. I am a believer in 'education' being a permanent feature in everyone's lives, not something that you leave behind as you close the classroom door on your final day at school.

BUILDING
a team has been one of the hardest things I have come across as an entrepreneur - as many different factors play a role in getting the team right. Sometimes chance seems to play a large role although I am sure experts may have a different view. The team, and the success they experience also have to do with the goals of the organisation - in my case that was a roll-up and fast growth, in 6 years we grew to 1100 employees which requires determination, creativity and entrepreneurship of everyone in the team

FOR
the first time I listened in on a live interview by members of Congress with members of the Private Equity and Venture Capital community recently. I was surprised and-then-not that Congress, who closed its eyes and ears to the malaise of our financial systems for so long, is now also buying into the arguments from the participants of that malfunctioning marketplace that there is no systemic risk in Private Equity's Venture sub-sector. Duh!
