My long time friend and favorite Seattle VC Greg Gottesman has started blogging. Greg’s a great writer and super thoughtful investor so I expect his blog will be one to read and comment on. It’s certainly going to be in my daily blogroll.

Greg and I are currently on the boards of Cheezburger and Startup Weekend together. We had several shared investments over the years including both good and bad ones. I’ve always had deep respect for how Greg thinks, works, and acts. Plus, I just love hanging out with him.

Greg was half of the motive force behind bringing TechStars to Seattle. He and Andy Sack, the TechStars Managing Director, literally made it happen. Greg’s been an awesome partner in the TechStars journey and completely embraces the mentorship model and the notion of “give before you get.”

Greg – welcome to the blogosphere. It’s never too late to join.
