What didn't you like about him? He seemed keen on a solid business principles and that's great. Only thing I didn't like is the desire for a 2+ person team, because ownership is everything, but that's hardly an unfair request - there's far greater risk investing in one person.


I actually just went back to the post, and they've edited the original article. He initially had a long list of things which included (something like) #2 don't pitch me another group buying site, #4 seriously, don't pitch me another group buying site.

It wasn't the his content was wrong, he should say how he feels. But it had a very negative and condescending tone to it.

The edited article is much... smoother.

Also if you compare the other VCs in the article, much of it is about what they want, rather than what they don't.

I have nothing personally against Vinnie, I've never met him, never heard of him before. But in the first version of the article he really stood out against the others in what I thought was a negative light.
