I had a great time at SXSW this year, but the conference has gotten so big that I missed a lot. One session that I shouldn't have missed was titled "The Art of Self Branding." Most of the session was spent talking about First Round Capital portfolio company Mint.com and how good a job they have done on creating a strong brand. It was such a flattering picture of the company that some assumed the presenter is a paid Mint.com consultant. She isn't, but Lea Alcantara, next time you are in San Francisco look me up and I will gladly buy you lunch.

That Hiring Time of Year
As many of you know, at this time last year we were looking for our first hire in the San Francisco office. The response was overwhelming, as were the number of really good people that we met through that process, and we ended up being able to work with a great guy.
We are again in hiring mode and looking for a Senior Associate for our firm, based in either our San Francisco or Philadelphia office. You can find out more about the job here, but I would encourage you to be creative if you are interested. Last year I received pointers to blogs, written business plans, some detailed financial analyses (for late stage private and some public companies, natch), as well as the standard resumes and cover letters. Feel free to express your interest in a way that reflects your understanding of the very early stage venture market.
We’ll look forward to hearing from you.
