I met Tim at ETCON yesterday, and have enjoyed reading his insights on technology at his weblog, Due Diligence. Tim’s an industry veteran who now serves as a partner at Pacifica Fund, a VC in Palo Alto. Tim describes himself as an “old fart”, which I think is his self-deprecating way of saying he has quite a bit of experience and know-how in the industry. His blog shows a refreshing blend of analyzing some of the newest technologies through a well-defined lens of a seasoned investor and a guy who’s heard the hype several times before. Definitely a guy worth reading – and knowing.
