Feld Technologies worked with Allcom whenever we needed a network installed for a client. At the time, the state-of-the-art was a wired 10BaseT ethernet network, so Allcom did the wiring, and we did everything else. At Mobius, we invested in Vytek, another company Len co-founded. Len loved to smoke a cigar.

In 1999 we filed an S-1 to take Sage Networks public. I was a co-founder and co-chairman. Our underwriters (Merrill Lynch) told us not to worry that the SEC hadn’t cleared our filing yet – they always did it a few days before you went public. Day after day passed and we didn’t hear from the SEC.

I had a conversation recently with Alex Mittal, Co-founder and CEO of FundersClub (FC) and decided to revisit my blog post from last fall that was skeptical of crowdfunding for angel investments. And the company has only one investor on the cap table but can (if they wish) take advantage of a larger group network. Very cool!

Just before the IPO, I had a far-reaching conversation with co-founder and CEO Brian Armstrong as he approached this major milestone for the company he co-founded back in 2012. I'm the co-founder and CEO of Coinbase. It's one of those things that founders can do sometimes where other employees are afraid to do it.
