Dave McClure

Chairperson

Dave McClure likes to hang out with entrepreneurs, and occasionally help or invest in their startups if they let him. Dave has been geeking out in Silicon Valley for over twenty years, and has worked with companies such as PayPal, Mint, Founders Fund, Facebook, LinkedIn, SlideShare, Twilio, Simply Hired, O'Reilly Media, Intel, & Microsoft. Many years ago he used to do real work like coding or marketing or running conferences, but these days he mostly does useless stuff like sending lots of email, blogging, and hanging out on Facebook and Twitter. Dave also likes to play ultimate frisbee when his knees don't hurt.

How to Take Down Facebook -- Hint: It Ain't Twitter. It wouldn't be accurate to say there's something "wrong" with Facebook, and it's not like I don't spend a shitload of time ego-whoring around on Twitter too. But, something is wrong on the Internet. Mon Nov 1, 2010

MoneyBall for Startups: Invest BEFORE Product/Market Fit, Double-Down AFTER VC funds are getting smaller (good), and angel investors are growing (also good), but both need to get smarter and innovate. Mon Aug 2, 2010
