"Time + larger changes. The tactical ones don't help so I have to look for broader ones. I'm sure I'll write more about what I did this time around." - Brad Feld

"Once I know where Google Fiber will be I likely will." - Brad Feld

"It's really hard to do well. I've done it a few times, but I also have learned the power of a partnership - rare but possible - between CEO and COO where the CEO owns product and the COO owns everything else. It's all very fragile until it's not." - Brad Feld

"How does that data indicate a "correlation between how long you do due diligence and success"?" - Brad Feld

"There is a big stigma around medication - probably even bigger than the stigma around talking about depression! Meds work extremely well for some; not so well for others. As with any medication, my experience is that the involvement of a doctor (in this case a psychiatrist) is critical." - Brad Feld

"I've never made my decisions based on what potential co-investors come up with, even ones who I respect and love like I do Fred. I've had a deeply held belief - ever since I made my first angel investment in NetGenesis in 1994 - to make my own decisions. I listen to whatever data emerges but I try to completely ignore external conclusions from others on my way to an investment decision - either positive of negative. In this case I don't think I ignored the data, I just ignored the conclusion." - Brad Feld

"I'd love to see the actual data behind the ACA assertion. That sounds like "conventional wisdom" rather than a data driven conclusion." - Brad Feld

"I love when people say "if that's important we'll just build it ourselves." They almost never do and it almost always means there is an opportunity." - Brad Feld

"Yup - I led the B. I learned about FeedBurner when I became publisher #699 shortly after I started blogging (I'm 99% sure I learned about it from Fred). FYI - Portage only did $1m in the Series A round." - Brad Feld

"Fred's co-investors were delighted to have him / USV given how much they could / would add to the company. This plays itself over and over again - FeedBurner didn't need the money at the time but it WANTED Fred / USV involved." - Brad Feld

"I don't know yet on the alarm but ill learn more this summer since I'm not going to use an alarm at all. I love the idea of a daily workout." - Brad Feld
