What a pleasure that I got to spend an hour talking with both Om Malik (whom I've always respected for his views) and Paul Jozefak, a venture capital partner at Neuhaus Partners in Germany (and formerly the head of Europe for SAP Ventures). We spent the first 45 minutes or so talking about industry trends (in this order):
1. The history and background of True Ventures, one of my favorite early-stage VC's (and the one with whom Om is a venture partner)
2. The strategy of GigaOm and where they differentiate in the market
3. Venture Capital funds: the different between "closed funds" (which typically have a 10-year time horizon) and "evergreen funds" which re-invest profits back into the fund
