Post my MBA
In thinking about how to use my free time -- now that I have graduated from NYU Stern as an official MBA -- I want to revisit all the things that I learned over the course of the past 2 years. In a bite-sized approach to that goal, I'm going to write about it.
This should get me i) back into writing, since I clearly fell off during the profram, ii) to remember and retain more of the very expensive education iii) provide some free knowledge to the world. My hope is that I format it in such a way that is enjoyable for both nerds and novices.
So now that I am post my MBA, I will post my MBA.
Stay tuned.
Be well, Do good.

Of VC Internships & Running Teams
ON THE SUBWAY THIS MORNING, I was reflecting on my first 2 weeks of my internship at Canaan Partners. It's been great so far, and I plan on sharing what I learn on Twitter under the hashtag #canaanintern (live link here).
The scattered barrage of work and autonomous structure got me thinking this morning about the explicit professional responsibilities and implied social contract between managers and subordinates*. More specifically I was thinking about how one should work when working by yourself versus collaborating with a team. My conclusion was analogous to running versus jogging.

Why I do Bow Tie Wednesday
Every Wednesday since January 2012 I have worn a bow tie. While many people think it may be a stylish quirk (not doubting that either), it is time that I have something written down to link to; a declaration of "Why".

VC in NYC
MBA recruiting for summer intern positions peak between January and February. Candidates like myself sweat it out as investment banks and top consulting firms attract away the bulk of the MBA class. Candidates like myself want something different, something more.
I want to work in investing, not too different from the buy-side banker types. However, my style of investing is a bit different. I believe in the newest technology. Venture capital is one path that does that. That's why I accepted a summer position at Canaan Partners.
Fred Wilson, the best of NYC's venture capital scene, recently came to a private InSITE event to talk about the market and industry. More info on Fred's blog.
The following videos share the experience to those unable to attend.
The talk
The Q&A
That's it for now. More on tech, careers and other thoughts later.
Be well. Do good.
