2007 Hiring Partner 
Both Sides of the Table
JANUARY 5, 2010
He and his partner told me about this new idea over the course of nearly a year. Partners in VC funds only wanted to fund entrepreneurs who had a certain percentage of their net worth tied up in their venture. I run the recruiting process for my VC firm, GRP Partners. I introduced him to my partners who liked him.

In December 2007, I described how I commonly take on an Acting CTO Role in a Start-up. What worries me a bit is how often I read that startups should hire a developer / hands-on lead developer. I understand the desire for hiring someone who is going to product product. When will key hires come on? Who will do that?

I know that most people who are close to them tend to deny their existence, as we saw in the great housing bubble of 2002-2007 and the dot com bubble of 1997-2000. So at GRP Partners we’re very active now. I believe a bubble occurs when a market is willing to pay greater than intrinsic value for an asset class. You feel it, too.

Venture Capitalists typically have partners’ meetings on Mondays. So the industry formed around a day of the week when all partners could avoid having company board meetings or traveling. When I first got into the industry it was 2007. I introduced my partners, we spent weeks with the team and felt good rapport.

When I began to hire product managers, sales reps and implementation staff from existing document management companies like Documentum and OpenText is when I got first-hand input into what lessons they had learned in their companies over the previous decade. I’m not sure why you’d do that unless you had to.
