Serendipity

Yesterday morning I was going through my emails deleting most of them as I went along speed skimming just the first two lines.

One was from CrunchBase and mentioned the name of an investor at the last company I worked for.

I deleted it before my mind registered the name.

So then I had find it in my trash and recover it. It was news about this VC company combining funds with another VC.

I went on with the rest of my day which included meeting with an experienced executing and former professor who gave an excellent talk at the last AGBC Exchange. He was kind enough to agree to meet up for 15 minutes so we should show him the app and our lean startup canvass.

It was a very long 15 minutes (over an hour) and he gave good feedback and advice.

During our talk he mentioned that he was actually based in a room provided by a VC company - the same one. Oh, I chimed in, all super-up-to-date-on-things: I hear they have a new joint fund.

(I actually met them once at the company at a rather bloodied meeting).
