Warning VCs: The Internet is coming for you
pandodaily.com
My favorite moment of our fireside chat with First Round Capital’s Josh Kopelman came at the very end of the night. I always ask our guests to tell us the one thing they believe that few other people believe. Sometimes the guest is exhausted by the gauntlet we’ve put...

CEO Supper Club: "Can we just talk millennials over soup?"
pandodaily.com
Sure we got into meaty industry issues during our LA CEO Supper Club. But with a table filled with some of the industry’s most opinionated loudmouths, the conversation also….let’s just say…veered from time-to-time. For instance, during the soup course when we strayed into an odd conversation about generations. We...

CEO Supper Club: Why Airbnb has absolutely dominated the sharing economy
pandodaily.com
Perhaps it was appropriate for something as feel-good-sounding as the sharing economy, but our CEO Supper Club attendees were awfully fawning about market leader Airbnb. It’d be easy for some professional jealousy to creep in– and Lord knows, I tried to stoke those fires. After all, these recent magazine covers...

pandodaily.com
Back in August we wrote about a fraudulent site claiming that “Internet rich man” Marc Andreessen was launching a fund in China called the Afund. There were some obvious giveaways that it wasn’t exactly for real. Such as the omission of Opsware from his bio, the claim he became...

All day on PandoDaily we’ve posted a lot of industry wisdom about how entrepreneurs should approach a challenging 2013, what mistakes they should quit making if they want to be successful, and even whether engineers should try to become founders.
