Their dishes - the successful companies in their portfolios - are most valuable when the firms remain small and retain their own distinct style. When a chef tries to mass-produce a menu item, the dish loses value - scaling a batch beyond its ideal size degrades its quality. Likewise, when partners of VC firms take on too many deals and overstretch themselves with too many companies to look after, they can no longer add sufficient value to each portfolio company.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Tan Yinglan&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Way Of The VC - Top Venture Capitalists On Your Board (Amazon: &lt;a href="http://www.tinyurl.com/wayofthevc)" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="http://www.tinyurl.com/wayofthevc)"&gt;http://www.tinyurl.com/wayo...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;Blog: &lt;a href="http://www.wayofthevc.com" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="http://www.wayofthevc.com"&gt;http://www.wayofthevc.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Yinglan Tan</dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 26 Dec 2009 21:49:17 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Entrepreneurs on Twitter</title><link>http://altgate.com/blog/2009/08/entrepreneurs-on-twitter.html#comment-21019640</link><description>&lt;p&gt;Today &lt;a href="http://www.abercrombieonsale.co.uk" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="abercrombie and fitch"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;abercrombie and fitch&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; runs hundreds of retail stores and is doing a very brisk business indeed. &lt;a href="http://www.abercrombieonsale.co.uk/hollister.html" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="hollister"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;hollister&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; is very popular and is often associated with campus sports and lesiure activities.

A successful entrepreneur, have some big name followers from my twitter acct.which is sneakerme. and also &lt;a href="http://Poopanonymous.com" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="Poopanonymous.com"&gt;Poopanonymous.com&lt;/a&gt;  My goal is to have my site get national recognition with my soon to come media campaign,  Thanks, RMY CEO Emotitees PA  I correspond with Seth Godin, he does not use Twiier as of 7/16?09&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">sneakerme</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 16 Jul 2009 10:29:43 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Entrepreneurs on Twitter</title><link>http://altgate.com/blog/2009/08/entrepreneurs-on-twitter.html#comment-12681548</link><description>&lt;p&gt;Twitter-Grade rank-ordered group of entrepreneurs.

I think it's a more accurate representation of power and authority (because just the pure followers number is too easy to game).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Next step is to build a simple widget that you can embed in a web page.
