Sasha Johnson is continuing DoubleStar Venture Partners without me. We can't agree on the strategy, so I am leaving effective today. But, I am thrilled to be starting a new fund with my good friend Swati Dasgupta! We worked closely together at IBM Ventures. Welcome to NextStar Venture Partners!

Join me at the first ever Startup World Cup Las Vegas!! I'll be judging 15 pitches at the Paris Hotel on Thursday afternoon. Be there!!! And if you will be in Vegas for CES but can't make this event, let me know.
